Dorman - OE Solutions Air Bag Clockspring P/N:525-128
Keep current flowing between the steering column and your steering wheel's air bag, horn and switches with the Dorman air bag clockspring, part number 525-015 from Dorman - OE Solutions. It fits many vehicles, among them the 2003-2006 Chevrolet Silverado 1500, 2003-2006 GMC Sierra 1500 and 2003-2004 Chevrolet Silverado 2500. See the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list.
A clockspring maintains the electrical connection between the fixed steering column and the steering wheel as the wheel turns. When the original is missing or damaged, this unit is built to match its fit and is designed to restore current to the air bag, horn and steering wheel-mounted controls on the listed applications.
Signs a clockspring may need replacing include an illuminated air bag warning light, a horn that stops working, or steering wheel buttons that cut out, sometimes only as the wheel is turned. Wiring, switches or modules can cause the same symptoms, so diagnose the cause before replacing. During installation, follow the vehicle service procedure for disabling the air bag system and centering the clockspring.
