FACTORY STEERING WHEEL

I had the clip come off the inside of the back and locked up my steering almost causing a wreck. Im talking about the clip with the 2 tab's that turn off your turn signal, i think i have it on correctly but does anybody have one off they can look at to make sure? The pic is showing how i put it back on,THANKS.

Looking at your picture, the two tabs at the top at 12:00 o'clock ....

.... should be over there at 3:00 o'clock (or as you sit behind the wheel with wheels straight ahead, they sould be over towards the door or turn signal stalk).

Well dang Bud Mud that sounded like no fun. I have NOT seen that bracket before and my steering wheel has 2 plastic spring loaded buttons that fit in the steering wheel groove and no bracket??

So sorry I am no help, drive safe.

It's the same. 3 o'clock on your picture of the back side as viewed in your picture .... is the same as 9 o'clock or towards the turn signal stalk when viewed from the other side like you would be doing sitting in the truck holding the wheel.



Think "mirrors".

As long as the pen does not go IN the coffee cup and then the coffee cup is split on yourself....and I feel your pain on the just getting old part too.

I am young at heart, but old in body. I'm good looking, like a classic "High Boy", but worn slick out like a fleet vehicle. lol

Hang in there with the shots.
