Did you put the steering shaft spacer in? If so sounds like you turned the clock spring too far and broke it. I did the same thing when installing mine.

agreed, sounds like clock spring is broken.

Replace the clockspring. You pretty much follow this exactly. I think I replaced mine in about 20 min.

Will that take care of all my issues? Thanks for the help and link.

It should with the exception of the vsc light, but my guess is that will go off with a zero point callibration.

Check ebay. I broke my clock spring installing a body lift and experienced the same issues as you minus the VSC light, so i bought the clock spring below for $35.
If you do purchase this one, just make sure all of the metal prongs get connected properly. One of mine didn't connect when I initially installed it, so my controls didn't work. Turned out that a prong was bent out of place, so I corrected that and problem solved.
Finally, since this one may not be oem, there may be a slight crunch sound when you crank your steering wheel. It doesn't affect performance or anything, just a little noise.

That sounds about right for a dealer price. I picked up a used OEM one on ebay for $30 or so, as I didnt trust the non-OEM ones. Didnt really matter in the end though, as it recently broke again. This time I might just go with a new one from the dealer to hopefully prevent any issues.

Not sure actually haha. Maybe it was damaged when it was taken out of the car that I bought it from, or I damaged it while putting it in. It lasted close to a year before breaking though, and I didnt take the wheel off at all, so who knows. :noidea:
