Direct Fit for Chevrolet Captiva (2006–2018)
This clock spring is engineered for Chevrolet Captiva (first generation, C100 platform) produced approximately from 2006 to 2018 . It directly replaces OEM part numbers 96628699 and 96628697, guaranteeing a perfect fit and reliable performance when properly matched.
12-Pin Configuration
This clock spring features a 12-pin connector, commonly used in Captiva models with factory-installed steering wheel controls (audio, cruise). Before ordering, please verify that your original clock spring has 12 pins and the connector shape matches.
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 maintains continuous electrical connection as the wheel turns, enabling:
- ✅ Proper airbag deployment
- ✅ Reliable horn operation
- ✅ Steering wheel audio and cruise controls (if equipped)
- ✅ Steering angle sensor data (on equipped models)
A faulty clock spring may trigger the airbag warning light, cause horn failure, or make multifunction buttons unresponsive. Prompt replacement is highly recommended for safety.
⚠️ IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTE
A worn or broken clock spring can lead to airbag malfunction. Since it is responsible for two safety devices (airbag and horn), it is highly advised to replace a faulty unit immediately .
Installation Tip: Always disconnect the battery before starting, ensure the front wheels are straight, and keep the centering clip in place until reassembly .
