- 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 sits behind your steering wheel. It connects the buttons on your steering wheel and the wires from your airbag to the overall electrical system. These wires must stay secure and in one place when your steering wheel moves and turns. The Air Bag Clockspring encases the bunched wires, allowing them to rotate with the steering wheel without getting frayed, tangled, or worn out. The encased wires power functions within the steering wheel, like: the cruise control on/off, radio, airbag, and horn.
The Air Bag Clockspring is engineered to weather normal wear and tear. It shouldn't need to be replaced very often. That said, if you see that the dashboard airbag light is on, it may mean that it's time to replace the Air Bag Clockspring. Additionally, if your steering wheel buttons aren't functioning properly, it might be time to replace the Air Bag Clockspring.
Since installing the Air Bag Clockspring involves removing the steering wheel and airbag, it's generally recommended that you visit an official Nissan service center for Air Bag Clockspring replacement. A technician will disconnect the car battery, disable the airbag safety system, and remove the driver's side airbag. Next, they'll take off the steering wheel and detach the clips and bolts securing the Air Bag Clockspring in place. Then, the worn out clockspring is pulled out, along with its electrical connectors. 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.
