Steering Wheel Clock Spring Replacement
The clock spring maintains electrical connections to steering wheel components as the wheel turns. Damage can affect buttons, the horn or the airbag circuit, depending on equipment. We confirm the fault rather than diagnosing it from a warning light alone. Work follows the required power isolation and safety-component handling procedure. Correct centring of the clock spring is essential during fitting. After assembly, steering wheel functions are checked and any settings required by the particular system are completed.
Symptoms
- Steering wheel functions cut out depending on wheel position.
- A clock spring circuit fault confirmed by diagnosis.
What's included
- Confirm the fault and prepare the safety systems.
- Access and remove the clock spring using the vehicle procedure.
- Fit a compatible clock spring in its centred position.
- Check steering wheel functions, faults and required settings.
Why it matters
The clock spring may form part of the airbag circuit. Bypassing its connections or simulating a healthy circuit is not a repair.
