EBAY, that's where I got mine. About $50 cheaper than O'Reilly's

ok, would it be bad if i dont change it?

I just finished mine... took 2hrs total... i wasn't rushing and probably lost 30 minutes due to not getting the qtip in real deep...

note: you really need to get the Qtips in there deep... you'll also use a lot of qtips...

watchout for the spring for the horn... make sure you don't lose it...

also try it before you put everything back together...

Regarding the Airbag: I only pulled the battery lead off and Air Bag/SIR fuse out... didn't unplug it...

you want the qtip to go to the bottom of the 5 small openings...

be carefull there is a spring there that makes the contact...

ok, so that is what is making the clicking sound on the passenger side then?

Goran · 10-23-2009, 04:11 PM

yes... it's been driving me crazy for 2 weeks now...

cleaned it up and all is good...

like i said... just watch how you put it back together...

sonoma1989 · 10-24-2009, 12:19 AM

so my question is, is it bad that i dont change it for a while? cause i just bought a house and iam a little short on money. And thanks very much for all this help.

Goran · 10-26-2009, 05:53 PM

no clue... i've read about people having it for like 2 years... i'd shoot myself if i had to listen to it for 2 years...

it doesn't cost you anything to clean it up... only some time...
