Absolutely! They had the parts I needed.The instructions I bought were good, although not quite new enough - my steering column has the air bag. The instructions are for a non-air bag column.

Any thoughts on getting the wiring harness for the turn signal switch back down through the steering column? I attached a wire to the harness, but the connector is too big to get pulled out the bottom end. I'm considering taking a picture of the wires and where they go, taking out the wires (they fasten with the little metal connector ends), attaching the guide wire to the flat ribbon harness, and seeing if they will come out the bottom opening. I may invest in a "fish tape" and try that. The job would be considerably easier if the lower half of the dash was easier to remove.

You pull it down with mechanic'* wire, taping the harness to the connector so that it goes down the long way(do it neatly so there are no bulges)......if you have trouble pulling it through, there is a plastic "tray" that the harnesses lay in, that can be removed from the bottom opening of the column(where the wires come out), to give you more room.....then it can be slid back in, once the harness is through....

Next time you don't have to pull it out......just replace the spring.....

The harness from the turn signal switch is back down through the column. Now to put the wires back into the correct location in the connector (I took some pictures first) and put the white plastic comb back in place. I carefully taped lightweight copper wire to the harness, using electrician'* tape then I used the wire to pull the harness down and out the bottom through the opening on the bottom.

The airbag malfunction light has been on for several years. Before I put the airbag back into the steering wheel, any suggestions on taking care of the situation. This is a 1995 Buick LeSabre with the clockspring mechanism and the acceleration sensors.

Any suggestions about tracking down the problem before I get the steering column completely back together?

Thanks, wnlewis

P.*. There is no passenger'* side airbag. WNL

I think you'd want to scan it to see what it is complaining about.

Yes, the starting point is to get the SIR code....

Do you have a recommendation for a good OBD I scanner/reset tool?

I bought a steering wheel lock plate tool that is supposed to be able to make installing a lock ring easy. Once the lock plate spring is properly compressed and the lock plate below the lock ring groove, what tool or procedure is best for installing the lock ring?

Getting the lock ring on and off was not hard with my new equipment.

However, I'm not quite sure which way to install the lock plate. It can be installed two ways.

The turn signal cancel cam horn tower must go through the round hole in the lock plate and a wide space in the outer rim of the lock plate must align with the lock bolt.

The spacing of the teeth on the inside of the lock plate are such that the lock plate can be put on with either face toward the steering wheel. But that alters the location on the outer rim.

When the lock bolt is engaging the lock plate, is the correct position for the front tires straight ahead, or angled just a bit one direction away from straight ahead?

The lock plate is not perfectly flat the center either is depressed away from the steering wheel (toward the bottom of the steering column) or toward the steering column.

The SIR coil must fit with the small bump on the edge toward the top of the lock housing cover. The front tires should be aligned straight ahead.

Anyone with experience or photos?

Thanks,
