Spiral Cable Sub-Assembly Functionality

The spiral cable sub-assembly is an integral part of your vehicle’s steering system, crucial for connecting various electrical components housed within the steering wheel. Known commonly as the clock spring or spiral cable, this component primarily facilitates the transmission of signals between the steering wheel and the vehicle's electronics such as the airbag, horn, and steering wheel buttons ?.

Importance of the Spiral Cable Sub-Assembly

Without this spiral cable, the modern functionality drivers expect from their vehicle's steering components would be compromised. It ensures all connected devices remain functional and provides a reliable electrical connection regardless of the wheel's position ?️.

Consequences of a Broken Spiral Cable

If the cable is broken, you may experience non-responsive buttons on your steering wheel, the horn might fail to operate, or, more critically, the airbag system could become disabled, creating significant safety risks. Constant warning lights on your dashboard could also indicate a potential failure of this component ⚠️.
