hey guys, cannot believe none of you have never had to replace this little expensive harness under the steering wheel. Its called a clockspring or spiral wire and runs your horn, aig bag wiring and cruise control.I have lost all these functions and Lexus in Aus quote $600 for the thing. From US its only about $300 AU shipped, but slightly different part no.Anyone out there had one replaced, or having similar probs??

no, but go to lexls.com and there is a great one, which I used myself.
be aware that LHD and RHD models are slightly different in the accessory drive areas, cos have brake masters and steering on op. sides.
I found this affected some of the bolts u need to undo differ from the tutorials, like a hidden bolt from passenger side going into the water pump which took me hours to discover.
its a big job but saves u heaps in labour.Also follow to the letter the instructions for routing of the plug leads, I ended up destroying several leads by getting them caught up in cam cover bolts.
