Clock Spring

The clock spring:
- Is on the steering column.
- Contains a coil that is the electrical contact between the steering column wiring harness and the driver side airbag module.
- Is part of the circuit for the horn.

NOTE: Turning the steering wheel more than three and one-quarter turns may damage the clock spring.

Turning the steering wheel:
- In one direction tightens the coil.
- In the opposite direction loosens the coil.
- More than three and one-quarter turns may damage the clock spring.

CAUTION: Disassembling the clock spring can cause injury and vehicle damage.

The clock spring should never be disassembled. The clock spring must be replaced if the airbags have been deployed.
