Clockspring Installation

[daclenard]

I have a 2007 classic 2500HD 4wd Dmax LT1 that did not come with the steering wheel controls. I am in the process of adding this option. I am installing the new clock spring but cannot figure out one connector. It is white and sits near the ignition switch with a brown and green wire and a spring loaded plunger. How is it removed? So many have done this mod sucessfully that I feel like an idiot for not figuring this out. Thanks for any help.

How did you make out with this,are you done?

The installation of the coil kit (clockspring) and the wheel went without a problem. I'm taking it to the local dealer to see if they can do the programming next week. They seemed eager to try when I talked to them about what I was attempting.

 

Duse, do you have the necessary parts? I have the clockspring from a 2005 2500HD CC if you're interested. Let me know.

I have nothing yet.And yes I would take it if it's what I need..

Maybe you can clear this up for me

It is my understanding that I need a clockspring & wheel,what about a cluster?Or since I have the tranny temp gauage on mine I dont need a cluster.

And I have to figure out what kind of airbag I have in order to get the correct clockspring?

Does that sound right?

I started getting a headache reading all the DIC threads

Once that happens everything I read makes no sense

I know what you mean about all the threads. I started reading after I bought my truck a year ago. I bought the steering wheel off of ebay and a clockspring from a salvage yard in Canada. I then read somewhere where the part no. changed with a new part for 2007 and I then bought the new one from partszoneonline.com. I couldn't see any difference between the 2005 and the 2007 part. So I have the 2005 clock spring as surplus. It's easy to check the airbag, just make sure you disconnect the batteries before you do it. There is a thread with pictures over at chevyavalanchefanclub.com.
