Spiral Cable Assembly – Your Airbag’s Lifeline ⚡

Why Is This Part Essential?

The spiral cable assembly is a critical component in your vehicle’s steering system. It acts as a communication bridge, keeping the electrical connection between your steering wheel controls (like horn, airbag, and audio switches) and the rest of the car intact, even while you turn the wheel.

How Does It Work?

It uses flat, coiled wiring housed inside a plastic case that winds and unwinds as you rotate the steering wheel. This flexible link allows signals to safely reach the airbag and other controls without wires tangling or breaking.

What If the Spiral Cable Fails?

If this part breaks, you may lose horn function, see an illuminated airbag warning light, or steering wheel buttons may stop working. Most importantly, airbag deployment in a crash could be affected—compromising your safety.
