Clock spring nightmare!

[thinking-anteater]

I recently replaced mine for a horn issue, got the horn working so that's good. but now have an airbag light I can't clear!

Tried a bunch of clock springs online and none have been the right match. Anyone got tips on how to actually find the correct clock spring without this headache?

how to actually find the correct clock spring without this headache

the easiest way is to just use your VIN, give it to your local Toyota dealer's parts department or enter it on an official Toyota parts website. This will get you the exact part you need

agree with @WaitingForTheSun Don't just rely on the year and model. you might find it on the old part itself, sometimes it can be in a small sticker.

The biggest thing is matching the part number exactly from your original clock spring and yeah I'm a good example, I ended up calling the dealer with my VIN and they gave me the right part number, steer clear from those generic listing things
