Air Bag Restraint Systems - Except Coupe: Operation: CLOCKSPRING

Clockspring is a rotating connection between system wiring harness and driver's air bag module, cruise control switch (if equipped) and horn switches. Clockspring is a flat, ribbon-like tape of conductive material, which winds and unwinds with steering wheel movement. It is the most fragile part of SRS. Clockspring MUST be centered to allow for up to 2 1/2 steering wheel turns in either direction. If clockspring is not centered properly, it can break from stretching or fatigue. See CLOCKSPRING CENTERING  under ADJUSTMENTS.
