A clockspring is the rotary electrical connector in the steering column. It keeps the steering wheel's circuits connected while the wheel turns. Signs one may need replacing include an air bag warning light, a horn that stops working, or steering wheel buttons that cut out. Wiring, switches or other components can cause the same symptoms, so diagnose the cause before replacing the clockspring. Always follow the vehicle service information when working near the air bag, including disabling the system before removal.
