Important: Verify Connector Type
Jeep Grand Cherokee models may have different clock spring connector configurations depending on trim level and options (e.g., heated steering wheel, audio controls, paddle shifters).

Why Your Clock Spring Matters
The clock spring (also called spiral cable or airbag rotor) is a critical safety component located behind the steering wheel. It ensures continuous electrical connection as the wheel turns, enabling:
- Proper airbag deployment in a collision
- Reliable horn operation
- Functioning of steering wheel audio, phone, and cruise control buttons
A faulty clock spring may trigger the airbag warning light, cause horn failure, or make multifunction buttons unresponsive. Replacing it with our high-quality unit restores full functionality and safety.
