Steering Wheel Spiral Cable (Clock Spring) for Toyota ?
This safety-critical connector links the driver airbag, horn, and steering wheel buttons to the car’s wiring while you turn the wheel. It keeps signals stable, so your SRS, audio controls, and cruise/phone functions work every time.
Why you need this part ?
Normal wires would twist and snap inside the column. The spiral ribbon inside this unit coils and uncoils smoothly, preventing breaks and maintaining clean contact. Built to OEM geometry for a snug fit and reliable service in daily use.
How it works ⚙️
A flat ribbon cable sits in a circular housing behind the steering wheel. As you rotate, the ribbon tracks along a guided path, preserving power and signal lines for SRS, horn, audio, and cruise. Correct centering at install avoids overtravel.
What happens if it’s damaged ?
- Airbag warning light; SRS may not deploy in a crash.
- Horn inoperative or intermittent.
- Dead steering wheel buttons or cruise canceling.
- Rubbing noise inside column, or flickering controls.
Tech tips for install ?
Disconnect battery 10–15 minutes before work. Keep wheel straight, lock column, and align center marks. Do not spin the unit freely. Torque the wheel to spec and verify continuity after assembly.
Fitment and build quality ?
Direct-fit for many Toyota platforms—match by VIN or steering wheel options. Durable ribbon, precise terminals, and tested lock-to-lock travel. Quick replacement that restores safety and comfort.
