Spiral Cable Assembly: Essential for Safe Driving

Why This Part Is Needed ?️

This component is a critical link in your vehicle's steering system. It connects the steering wheel controls – such as airbag, horn, and audio switches – to the car’s electronics. Its unique coiled design prevents wires from tangling or breaking when you turn the wheel, keeping all steering wheel features functional.

How It Works ⚙️

The spiral wire assembly sits inside the steering column. As you rotate the steering wheel, the flexible cable maintains electrical connections through its coiled structure. It unwinds and rewinds without stress on the wires, ensuring signals pass smoothly from your steering wheel to the car’s systems.

Signs of Failure & Risks ?

• Airbag warning light stays on
• Horn or wheel buttons stop working
• Unusual noise when turning wheel

If this part breaks, safety systems like the airbag may fail in a crash, and steering wheel controls stop working. Immediate replacement is vital for safety.
