Yep, the clock spring is defective or not installed correctly. Here are the instructions on how to install the clock spring or spiral wire correctly. Check out the images (below). Please upload pictures or videos in your response of any problems so we can see what to help you with.

I have done clock springs before, I did remove the plastic housing around the column, it’s hooked up correctly but seems defective when I turn the wheel it sounds like something inside the clock spring house is broken or loose.

Here’s the video, making a cracking noise.

Oh yes, that clock spring is defective. Did it have position pins that needed to be removed before installation? Thanks for the video, it helped.

No, there was an orange thing in the bag, but it was laying in the bag.

So, how do I get a replacement?

That sounds like the problem, they must have given you a defective part. I would contact the place where you got it and tell them they should give you another one.

Hi, so they sent me a replacement and it seems to be working fine now but I’m getting error code c1433 on my 2015 4Runner do you know how to clear it, my anti-skid and steering wheel light are on my dash.
