- Connects the wiring of your steering wheel buttons, airbag, and horn to your vehicle’s electrical system
- 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
The Air Bag Clockspring is a round plastic piece that is found behind your vehicle's steering wheel. It connects your airbag wires to the electrical system. These wires must stay secure and in one place when your steering wheel moves and turns. The Air Bag Clockspring protects the wires, allowing them to turn with the steering wheel and not get tangled, worn, or frayed. The enclosed wires power functions within the steering wheel, like: the horn, cruise control, radio, and airbag.
The Air Bag Clockspring in your Nissan is made to stand-up to years and years of use. That said, if you see that the dashboard airbag light is on, it may mean that you need to replace the Air Bag Clockspring. Additionally, if your horn or steering wheel buttons aren't working anymore, that's also a sign it's a good time for a new Nissan Air Bag Clockspring.
Air Bag Clockspring installation requires removal of the steering wheel and airbag, so it's recommended that you take your Nissan to an authorized service center for Air Bag Clockspring installation. After disabling the airbag safety system, a technician will take out the driver's side airbag. Next, the technician will detach the steering wheel and unhook the clips that secure the clockspring. Then, the technician will pull the impaired clockspring and its electrical connectors from the steering column. Finally, they’ll install the new Air Bag Clockspring by mounting it to the steering column, ensuring the alignment markers are in place, and connecting the wiring.
