Great instructions
Just wanna say thanks for this post and also throw out there that it's pretty close to the same thing in most models. I just replaced my cable in my 2011 SR5 and the process is almost exactly the same. A few minor differences but they are easy to spot.

Yes you will when you rotate the steering wheel left or right. Your horn may also not work, and your airbag lamp stays on constantly. When you hear the clicking sound it means that the flex cable has broken completely off from the internal connector. This is a non repairable item.
Don't pay inflated prices for this item. Shop online for best deals. Be aware that multiple part numbers will work with your particular vehicle. Make sure you match the connectors before ordering.

piggybacking this. There's no need to get OEM here. Mine was broken so i got a $45 aftermarket one off ebay and it's been working fantastically!!

For anyone who has replaced it, is there any room for extra connectors? I have been wanting to add steering wheel audio controls.

False. I pulled mine after it had gotten ripped in half and soldered it back together and worked like a charm.

Is there a reason to suspect the clock spring when the cruise control doesn't work but the horn does and there's no airbag light? I'm leaning towards it being more in the cruise control switch, but I'm not sure which way to go about diagnosing.

just disconnect the battery, then take your airbag off and see how the wires look they can be cut or something
my horn wire was cut in half
if there fine then it probably is your spiral cable

My cruise magically started working again after a muffler change, rear diff leak fix, and extended breather mod lol. Must be those gremlins...
Actually, I'm more frustrated because I didn't figure the culprit out, so now it's just waiting to not work on me again when I want it most.
