A clockspring is the coiled electrical link between the steering column and the steering wheel. It keeps the air bag, horn and wheel-mounted switches connected as the wheel turns from lock to lock.
A clockspring may need replacing if an air bag warning light comes on, the horn works only intermittently or not at all, or the steering wheel controls stop responding. These symptoms can have other causes, so diagnose the system before replacing parts. Follow the vehicle service information for air bag handling and installation.
