A clockspring links the steering column wiring to the steering wheel while the wheel turns. This Dorman clockspring is a direct-fit replacement for the listed applications.
A clockspring may need replacing if the horn works only some of the time or not at all, the air bag warning light is on, or the steering wheel controls stop responding. Other faults can cause the same symptoms, so diagnose the system before you replace the part.

What are signs a clockspring may need replacing?
