Why Your Clock Spring Matters
The clock spring (also called spiral cable or airbag rotor) is a critical safety component located behind the steering wheel. It maintains continuous electrical connection as the wheel turns, enabling:

  • ✅ Proper airbag deployment
  • ✅ Reliable horn operation
  • ✅ Steering wheel audio and cruise controls (if equipped)
  • ✅ Steering angle sensor data (on equipped models)

A faulty clock spring may trigger the airbag warning light, cause horn failure, or make multifunction buttons unresponsive . Prompt replacement is highly recommended for safety.

⚠️ IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTE

A worn or broken clock spring can lead to airbag malfunction. Since it is responsible for two safety devices (airbag and horn), it is highly advised to replace a faulty unit immediately .

Installation Tip: Always disconnect the battery before starting, ensure the front wheels are straight, and keep the centering clip in place until reassembly .
