In this video we take a look at this 1999 Honda Accord that was dropped off with a symptom of no horn, no cruise control and the air bag light was on. Sounds like a pretty classic symptoms of a clock spring / cable reel so lets grab the test light and do the hoki-poki 🙂

    Lotta times the horn will blow with the wheel in the 90° position, but not in the straight ahead. The contacts wear out where the wheel spends most its time.

    Toyota’s are the same for most models and years especially 3rd gen 4runners 1st gen tacos and 1st and second-gen tundra's as well the clock spring controls srs, horn, And the cruise Control as well as other models Hondas are similar in most aspects good Diagnostics process Eric O always good to follow 1 problem path at a time normally always leads to to the problem @SouthMainAutoRepairLLC

    My neighbor and his son had pulled the steering wheel off of his ford truck for whatever reason. And when I got home from work they came and got me and showed me the two little bolts they had left over asking do we need these in there. I had to laugh because I knew what those bolts were for and what a pain they were to put in. So I told them to take the wheel off and I would show them where they went and how to get them in and tight. They learned their lesson about just pulling something apart and not getting it back together correct.

    Anyone have the SRS light on and cruise not working BUT the horn buttons do? My 1999 Civic has this. Read the code via the service plug under passenger kick panel and got code 1-1 (driver airbag open circuit)

    Hey Eric, man would I love to work with you. You're awesome! I watch your videos everyday. You amaze me and I've been a tech for over 30 years. Keep it up brother!

  13. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars William Bennett says:

    How can you get a horn button not to stick on. Would it help lift up on the airbag when putting the bolts in. Please get back to me. I have the horn switch unplugged. It just happens when I put the air bag on

  14. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars William Bennett says:

    Hang on- my 02 accord has the fan settings on the right side and temp settings on the left. Did they change it after a couple years or is it because of a different trim package?

  40. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars David Milovanovich says:

    Great job Eric Thanks
    For the scope and demo,

  41. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Sheldon Scott says:

    I had all the same symptoms in a used 98 accord EX i bought but with one additional symptom -the stop lamp lights kept blowing the fuse located within.under the hood fuse box, which.would caused the shift interlock to not allow the car shifter selecter to not move out of park until fuse was replaced.
    I jumped the gun and replaced the clock spring, without first testing the horn relay. And I discovered the driver side horn t was faulty because once I unplugged that horn everything else on that circuit came back to life and no longer blew the fuse for the stop lamps.
    Thank you for the video, it helped direct me to the fix ultimately.

  42. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Thiago Alva says:
