Clock Spring Replace HELP!!

Tfink93 · 08-05-2016, 01:11 PM

Hi, I have an 09 base model Z. I recently changed out my stock steering wheel with NRG short hub and quick release and grip royal wheel. When I changed them out I accidentally busted the clock spring in the process. When I did so, the loose traction, VDC, and air bag lights came on. I ordered a new clock spring (directly from Nissan), installed the new clock spring, and also decided to put my stock steering wheel back on. Long story short, I reinstalled everything and the install went good with no issues. Plugged all of my connectors back in and lastly hooked the battery back up. When all said and done I still have my loose traction, VDC, and air bag lights on the dash. Did I miss something, or is there a way to reset those, or am I having another issue all together? Help is greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Also, just as extra info, when I start the car the only light that is on the dash is the air bag light. The loose traction and VDC lights do not come on until I turn the steering wheel the first time. I double and triple checked all my connectors to make sure they were snuggly fit in the correct places so that leads me to believe that something either needs to be reset or that I have a different problem than I originally thought. I expected all of these lights to go out once everything was reinstalled.

Update! Found out how to reset the air bag light. Air bag light is no longer an issue. However, traction and VDC lights are still on
