Signs of Failure
A faulty clock spring may exhibit the following symptoms :

- 📢 Horn does not function
- 🎛️ Steering wheel-mounted controls become unresponsive
- 🚨 In critical cases, driver airbag may not deploy in a collision
⚠️ IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTE & INSTALLATION TIPS
Before Installation: Disconnect the battery negative terminal and wait at least 5 minutes for the airbag system to discharge.
Centering: Ensure front wheels are perfectly straight. The new clock spring comes with a centering clip – do NOT remove this clip until the clock spring is fully installed and the steering wheel is in position. Rotating the clock spring without the clip can damage the internal ribbon cable.
Sensor Note: If your vehicle is equipped with steering angle sensor (for ESC, lane assist, etc.), ensure the new clock spring is compatible or that the sensor is correctly transferred. After installation, calibration with a diagnostic scanner (VCDS/ODIS) may be required.
Verification: Always verify that the replacement part matches your original in connector type, pin configuration, and any sensor integration. Professional installation recommended.
Post-Installation: After installation, verify horn function, steering wheel controls, and ensure the airbag warning light extinguishes correctly. If the light remains on, diagnostic scanning may be needed.
