WHY REPLACE THE CLOCK SPRING?
The steering wheel clock spring maintains electrical communication between the steering wheel and vehicle electronics while allowing steering wheel rotation. A failed clock spring can disable critical safety systems including the airbag while also affecting horn and cruise control operation. Replacing a worn or damaged clock spring restores proper steering wheel functionality and helps eliminate airbag warning lights.
