Essential Steering Role Connector Set Overview

The Steering Roll Connector, known as the clock spring, is a critical component in maintaining the functionality of a vehicle's steering system and supplemental restraint system (SRS). It ensures seamless communication between the steering wheel and the vehicle's systems.

Importance of the Steering Roll Connector

This vital part is necessary for preserving the electrical connection to the airbag, horn, and steering wheel controls while allowing the steering wheel to rotate. It works by coiling and uncoiling, allowing for uninterrupted circuit connectivity even during the wheel’s full range of motion.

When the Connector Fails

If the steering roll connector is broken, drivers may experience loss of function in any steering wheel-mounted controls, erratic airbag warning lights, or, in the worst-case scenario, an unresponsive airbag during an accident. Replacement is critical for safety and functionality.

Installing a New Connector

Installation of the steering roll connector requires precision and expertise. It is an intricate process that involves disassembling parts of the steering column and carefully positioning the new unit to avoid damage to the delicate wiring and ensure correct alignment with the steering system.
