Standard Ignition CSP266 air bag clockspring for the 2011-2015 Ford Explorer and other vehicles keeps the steering wheel's air bag circuit connected to the column while the wheel turns. It replaces a clockspring that has worn out.
- Copper alloy conductors with low resistive losses for consistent conductivity
- Five rectangular connectors with 36 male blade terminals
- Four wires with a wire length of 5.25 in (133.35 mm)
- High-grade materials and a design built for the demands of professional service
Quick facts
- Part: Standard Ignition CSP266 air bag clockspring
- Fits: 2011-2015 Ford Explorer and other vehicles
A worn clockspring can show up as an air bag warning light, or as a horn or steering wheel control that stops responding. Before you replace the clockspring, rule out the air bag module, its sensors and the wiring, since any of them can light the same warning; a shop can test that circuit.
Fits
It is listed for a wide range of Ford and Lincoln models, including the 2011-2015 Ford Edge and the 2013-2014 Ford Taurus, and one clockspring is used per vehicle.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Standard Ignition CSP266 clockspring fit the 2011-2015 Ford Explorer?
Yes. The Standard Ignition CSP266 is listed for the 2011-2015 Ford Explorer, the 2011-2015 Ford Edge and the 2013-2014 Ford Taurus. For any other car, look in the "Vehicles it fits" section.
Do I need to buy fasteners separately for the CSP266 air bag clockspring?
Yes. Hardware is not included with the Standard Ignition CSP266, only the clockspring itself. Old fasteners may not be reusable, so plan on new ones.
How many wires and terminals does this air bag clockspring have?
This clockspring has four wires with a wire length of 5.25 in (133.35 mm), five female rectangular connectors and 36 male blade terminals.
Can a worn air bag clockspring affect the horn or steering wheel buttons?
Yes, it can. A worn clockspring may show up as an air bag light or a horn or wheel control that stops working, though other faults cause similar signs. Have it checked promptly.
What are the conductors in the CSP266 clockspring made of?
The Standard Ignition CSP266 uses copper alloy conductors, which give low resistive losses and consistent electrical conductivity.
