- Allows the wires to turn with the motion of the steering wheel without becoming tangled or frayed
- Replacement requires the removal of the steering wheel — professional installation is recommended
Your Nissan Air Bag Clockspring is a plastic, round component that is located behind the steering wheel. It connects your airbag wires to the electrical system. These wires need a way to stay in place (and intact) while your steering wheel moves back and forth. The Air Bag Clockspring encases the bunched wires, allowing them to rotate when the steering wheel does without getting worn out, frayed, or tangled. The wires support steering wheel functions, including: the cruise control on/off, radio, airbag, and horn.
The Air Bag Clockspring in your Nissan is made to stand-up to years and years of use. However, if you see that the dashboard airbag light is on, it might be a signal that it's the right time to buy a new Air Bag Clockspring. Additionally, if the buttons on your steering wheel or horn are no longer working, it may be time to install a new Air Bag Clockspring.
Since installing the Air Bag Clockspring involves removing the steering wheel and airbag, it's generally recommended that you visit an official Nissan service center for Air Bag Clockspring replacement. After disconnecting the negative battery cable to disable the airbag safety system, a technician will remove the driver’s side airbag. Next, they will detach the steering wheel and remove the plastic clips and bolts holding the clockspring in place. Then, the worn out clockspring is pulled out, along with its electrical connectors. To finish, they'll mount the new Air Bag Clockspring to the steering column, ensure that the alignment markers are properly situated, and then connect the wires.
