Steering Stalks Replacement
I know there have been a few posts related to this, but I wanted to provide a more recent thread and ask for some feedback. My turn indicator stalk no longer holds for right, and won't release for left. I know I need to replace with this part (https://www.suncoastparts.com/product/9X6STA.html). Has anyone done this and can provide some feedback on how easy it was (video I'll follow linked below). I'm not gunna lie, a little terrified of working around an airbag. Thanks in advance.

Replacing steering stalks ...
I believe you have to wait 20-30 minutes after disconnecting the battery for any residual electrical charge to dissipate. That is supposed to minimize accidentally setting off the airbag explosive charge.
I read this in the service write-up when I was contrmplating replacing my turn signal assembly. Haven't done it yet though because the part is so bloody expensive.

Ive done this, twice, trying to get my 2 lower stalks to work. I also had the turn signal "break" and not click back due to a plastic piece breaking off inside the signals. It was a cheap fix, bought the replacement stalks on eBay, but as said above, mark the wheel. I have tried ten times for the life of me to get the wheel back 100% straight pointing and its about 97% straight now. OCD would kill someone, I have learned to live with it since its just too difficult to keep removing to try and get it straight.
Also, not sure if its related, but I have another thread going since the lower two stalks on mine for the computer and cruise no longer work wince replacing. I even replaced the whole 4-stalk unit twice to ensure it wasnt a bad part -no luck. My clock doesnt adjust now either. Not sure what I did or how this happened, but prepare.
