I never thought of that being a possiblility. good idea

If your airbag light's on, you've probably broken the clockspring. That's an easy $443.56 fix. At least that's what it cost when I installed my PSC kit. Totally spaced tying up the steering wheel. Ahhh, the high cost of education.

I just installed psc steering a couple of months ago and I made sure I tied the steering wheel to avoid these problems. I hope this fixes your problem.

***** anyone ordering a psc kit, make sure you tell them how many turns your steering wheel turns lock to lock. I have my steering stops at the knuckles restricted because I'm running 37's. They didn't ask, and I didn't tell them so I had to get them to make me a new steering box with correct amount of turns. So I had to change my steering box twice. Just heads up to save you guys some extra work. ***** oh yeah and it was no extra cost to me, psc is an awesome company to deal with.

Yeah i called my local dealer and they dont even have a parts listing for the steering wheel sensor, and no i didnt tie off the steering wheel didnt think of that my kit came with no directions so i had to download it to my phone which was fun cause they were very vague. i wonder if i just disconnected the wheel sensor then re connected it if that would reset it? and if so where is the damn thing ha

I have a gearbox rebuilt by PSC with washers on my steering stops. You think that would cause problems?
