Clock Spring 25560-ZK01D for Nissan Maxima 2004-2008 – OEM 25560-ZK01D
Product Description – Clock Spring 25560-ZK01D for Nissan Maxima 2004-2008
Direct Fit for Nissan Maxima (6th Generation)
This clock spring is engineered specifically for Nissan Maxima (2004–2008), covering the 6th generation models [citation:2]. It directly replaces OEM part number 25560-ZK01D, which is the superseding part for 25560-7Y71D [citation:1], guaranteeing a perfect fit and reliable performance when properly matched.
Important: Verify Connector Type
Nissan Maxima models may have variations in clock spring connector configuration depending on trim level (SE, SL), steering wheel controls (audio, cruise control), and options. Before ordering, please check your original part's connector shape, pin count, and locking tabs to ensure compatibility. If unsure, contact us with your VIN for verification.
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 (if equipped)
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. Replacement typically requires steering wheel removal and proper alignment of the centering clip [citation:1].
Quality You Can Trust
- High-Purity Copper Ribbon: Ensures stable, interference-free signal transmission even after thousands of turns.
- Flame-Retardant Housing: Durable engineering plastic that meets stringent automotive safety standards.
- Rigorous Testing: Passed 300,000-cycle endurance test; operates flawlessly from -40°C to +85°C.
- Centering Clip Included: Holds the spring in correct alignment during installation – simply remove after mounting.
