Clockspring Assembly / Spiral Cable: Description and Operation
The clockspring is mounted on the steering column behind the steering wheel. This assembly consist of a plastic housing which contains a flat,
ribbon-like, electrically conductive tape that winds and unwinds with the steering wheel rotation. The clockspring is used to maintain a continuous
electrical circuit between the instrument panel wiring and the driver airbag, the horn, and the vehicle speed control switches if equipped. The clockspring
must be properly centered when it is reinstalled on the steering column following any service procedure, or it could be damaged. The clockspring cannot
be repaired and it must be replaced.
