After replacing the multifunction switch heard clicking noise at bottom of steering wheel when turning very little back and forth and think is the clock spring. How can I check and reset?

So, the steering wheel must mess with the clock spring for the correct operation. Here are the instructions on how to do the job in the images below. You can see in the last diagram the alignment marks that must be used for the clock spring to work correctly. Check out the images (below). Let us know what happens and please upload pictures or videos of the problem.

Thanks. Once I took the steering wheel off, I reset clock spring by turning all way to right then count turns to left which was little more than five returned two turns then slight turn to align wiring at top to go through top of steering wheel. Click gone so far.
