Yep, its a mystery for sure. Thanks for all your help folks. I'm gonna find some time to drop it off at the dealer and let them rob me for whatever diagnostic work they can manage. I'll update once this one is solved.

The issue is not the wheel. I replace the clockspring after the VDS light / SAS code happened. The splines are correct before and after based on the lineup marks on the wheel mount and shaft.

yep, same diagram I was looking at. It really doesnt look like whats on the vehicle, specifically just south of 48827. With the wheels straight the driver side rack has several gear teeth showing while the pass side is just smooth shaft (when I pull the boots back). Any idea if that is normal or if ...

yep, I absolutely understand that. Everything *looks* like its fine except that one joint, if its even a joint. Ive tried cranking the wheel hard left/right but nothing moves where it shouldnt. Im really not sure what to inspect/ look for beyond what I've done already. Any ideas? Also does that one ...

I found a guy to put it on a lift and let me inspect it. I found nothing out of the ordinary. Checked the passenger brake assy and the pins and pistons move freely. Then I put my hands on the lower steering column assy. Now, it feels fine. No slop or play to speak of. But I see some things I dont kn...

That makes good sense. Thanks!
I crawled up under it today and couldnt find anything obvious. Guess I've got a rabbit hole to run down now.

Thanks for the prompt response. I've been swamped at work. Yeah definitely something mechanical, I agree. I havent had the chance to get under it and have a closer look. When you say the splined couplers on the steering shaft are you referring to the spines at the wheel behind the airbag or elsewher...

I'm scratching my head with this weird little issue. It started with the airbag light. Determined its the clockspring. No big, I'll get to it. A few weeks later I start getting the VDC light on randomly for a few seconds. This happens a handful of times over a few days and then it stays lit. Pulled ...

So, I know this has been seen before. I've probably spent 20 hours now searching for the solution but I haven't found the fix on any forums yet. If you know where that writeup lives *please* point me there. Issue: Intelligent Key system intermittent failure. Varying weather, locations, times, etc. F...

This has been driving me insane for quite awhile now. It seems to come and go with severity but lately(past 2 weeks) it has been every single time I need to use the vehicle. Im at ~115k. Problem: External unlock/lock door button doesnt work reliably; keyfob unlock/ lock buttons dont work reliably; I...

I like it and can appreciate the time you put in doing it!

Do you have a pic of it completed?

thanks!

The first two pics show the completed switch inside the recess next to the access panel. I can grab some of it while closed from the inside later.

I would definitely try - especially if you're still within the 30 day warranty period. I'm in Maryland and every dealer-sold vehicle has to pass a rigorous inspection where nothing is allowed to leak or seep. the nearest one to me is about 4 hours away so I'll get on the phone with them first. I wa...

I changed plugs this weekend and found #6 had some ash fouling. I noticed some oil leaking from the valve cover gasket on the driver side. Is it likely this is the cause or am I looking at a deeper problem? Hoping someone here has experienced this before. Thanks! http://i.imgur.com/3AE44ntl.jpg http...

I car camp and couldn't live without being able to pop the liftgate from inside. This is a really easy mod if you have a little know how and something with which to cut the thin steel. I wanted to make sure the momentary switch would be recessed so cargo wouldn't bump it while going down the road. L...
