alright just recieved a clockspring today. does anyone know of a how-to, to install this.

 

You have to pull the steering wheel to install a new clockspring. Remove airbag (disconnect battery first!), remove steering wheel nut, use steering wheel puller to remove steering wheel (tapered press fit, sometimes they pop right off, most times not), disconnect and remove old clockspring.

 

See Mustang 90-91 Air Bag Diagnostic Codes for instructions.

 

From '92 Service Manual... Order modified to be in correct sequence for clock spring R&R

You had better have the clock spring and the steering gear/wheel centered before installation or you will NOT like what happens the first time you turn the wheel!

 

thanks. i ended up buying a 88 tilt steering column with no airbag wheel. i'm gonna try and install this. inspection station said once steering wheel with airbag is gone and light removed i'll be good.

 

how are you going to clear the airbag code once you install the 88 column?

 

oh yea where you get the service manual from.

 

I got hardcopy from Service Manuals, Owner Manuals, Wiring Diagrams, Service Bulletins - Helm Incorporated not cheap.

I got softcopy (Ford CD) from the web. They come up for sale from time to time.

 

Do they scan the computer? If not just remove the bulb.

 

OK, for the record what you're doing may be against Federal Law but it's your choice.

You need to disconnect the air bag diagnostic moninitor and the bulb. Otherwise the diagnostic monitor will beep.

On a '92 you can disconnect the diagnostic monitor and remove the shorting bar between pins 4 & 5 on the gray connector and you're done.

I do not have '91 schenematics but is should be similar. But from http://www.veryuseful.com/mustang/tech/airBag/images/airBagSchem1990.jpg

It looks the same in that reguard.

 

yea i took out all the airbag stuff. once i put the tilt column in it will be like the car never had a airbag. tired of all this inspection stuff. i just want to drive my vehicle.

 

Move to FL. We don't have any of that crap here. Plus the weather is nicer.
