Dorman - OE Solutions Air Bag Clockspring P/N:525-036
Designed to restore current to the air bag, horn and steering wheel-mounted controls, this Dorman clockspring, part number 525-209 from Dorman - OE Solutions, replaces an original that is damaged or missing. It is a direct-fit replacement for the 2007-2014 Ford Expedition, 2007-2014 Lincoln Navigator and 2004 Lincoln Aviator. See the Buyer's Guide tab for engine-level fitment details.
A clockspring keeps the electrical connection between the steering column and the rotating steering wheel, so these circuits stay connected as the wheel turns.
Signs a clockspring may need replacing include an illuminated air bag warning light, a horn that stops working, steering wheel controls that cut out, or a clicking or scraping sound when turning the wheel. Other faults can cause these same signs, so diagnose the cause before replacing the part. Because the clockspring connects to the air bag circuit, follow the vehicle service information for air bag system precautions during installation.
