Legend. Job done. Less than an hour, zero swearing and you've probably just saved me £300.

Thanks to this video, I had the courage to change the 'squib' by myself. Points to remember, trying to press in the latching springs of the airbag can damage the wiring and plugs in the 'same" location. I just happened to have the right size dowel handy, which did the job of pushing the "springs" away safely... then after changing the squib, got the dreaded 'Traction Control' alarm. !.. this I cleared with another KZread ! But had actually mis- aligned the Steering Angle Sensor, which has to be transferred off your old Squib.. Then I lost a load of functions which can be performed from the switches on the airbag module: These functions all came back once I pushed the grey plug home properly...take your time and follow the precautions about the Steering Angle Sensor module ! I just used a non original inexpensive 'Squib' !

Thank you for your video, I have watched your video twice and just replaced the squib and it knocked off the airbag light thank you may the road always rise to meet you

Just used this video to swap the clockspring on our 2015 model - VERY helpful !!! Although first time round I did get the Two yellow DSP lights on the dash after the repair, I had a look in the comments and soon realised that I had not lined up the Two grooves with the sensor. I did the ignition on and off Three times to get the red airbag light in to the diagnostic mode and this cleared the flashing light for good as my code reader will only do the ECU codes. Thanks for your help with the video!

Great video, thanks! :) Actually I just wanted to see how to proceed to change the turn indicator lever/group and your video is great also for that. I now found out that it is not necessary to remove the steering wheel to open the cover behind :) This allows to solve quite easily the well known problem of the direction indicator keeping blinking 3 or 4 times, after the lever has gone back to the off position (models around 2007 /2012) ;)

Brilliant, just had a failed turbo fixed on my Qashqai but it also had this issue plus another one with the exhaust valve but can't afford to fix either after paying an arm and a leg for a new turbo fitted. Will give this a go as looks pretty simple.

Thank you, brilliant video and enabled me as a novice to save at least £300! I have managed to throw my steering alignment sensor out though. I can't find a fix for this though without a scan tool.

Did you take it off the old clockspring and fit it onto the new clockspring . It's mentioned at 9:15 minutes into my video.

All the multi cable 'plugs' ever fitted on cars 'unlatch' differently ! A very this screwdriver is usually the order of the day and working out what to press or push away is the hard bit. Mine is a late 2012 '62' plate car and has only one cable to the airbag module... The easiest way to obtain the correct Squib is just to detach just the airbag module alone so you purchase the right "one cable or two cable" Clock Spring/Squib"

I have a flashing airbag light on my 2008 Nissan Qashqai. I also have that noise when you turn the steering wheel. The cruise control switches on the steering wheel have never worked (I bought the car second hand). If I move the steering wheel all the way to the left and keep it forced to the left, the cruise control can be activated but as soon as I left go of the steering wheel, cruise control cuts out. So, my question is, can changing the clockspring help with the cruise control as well as the airbag light? Ta!
