Sport steering wheel issues
Hi guys, I am new to the forum so a BIG hello to everybody.
I just received a used sport steering wheel form ebay to replace the old, thin, basic wheel. Great, right? Well there are a couple issues that are puzzling me whether or not I should return it or fix it myself. Paid $600 so any work other than installation is ticking me off. Basically the plastic snap on piece is slightly broken and won't stay in place. And plastic pointy tip is broken off. I circled both in the picture. Messing with the airbag makes me a little nervous. What do you guys think I should do? |

As to the connector you could purchase a new one and replace the broken one or find a way to secure the two halves together. The only time the connector needs to be unplugged is to remove the airbag. |

Thanks man! I went to the local shop that does electronics on cars and they told me these plugs cannot be bought separately. Glad you know more than he does. Especially since stealership wanted to replace the whole airbag...
On to the search... |

He might be right about the plug. I was just guessing it was a standard plug. The dealership would have to replace the entire airbag due to liability issues.

I visited a different stealership, explained the problem, gave the parts guy the whole wheel and waited 20min. Kinda started to get agitated as to why its taking so long but dude comes back with a brand new connector already swapped out and says "that'll be $2.98 for the part". Gave the guy $5 extra and walked out with a crocodile smile! Anyone with a similiar problem, just shop for a better stealership lol
