Essential Steering Wheel Control Component

The Spiral Cable Sub-Assembly is a crucial component situated within the steering column of your vehicle. It is responsible for maintaining a continuous electrical connection between the steering wheel and the vehicle's airbag, horn, and other control systems, even when the wheel is turned.

How the Spiral Cable Operates

Structured like a coiled ribbon cable, this part is specifically designed to coil and uncoil as you turn the steering wheel, hence the name "clock spring." This flexibility allows it to maintain conductivity without tangling or snapping as the steering wheel rotates.

Consequences of a Faulty Spiral Cable

If this cable breaks or wears out, it can lead to a range of issues, including the failure of the airbag to deploy, loss of horn function, and other critical steering wheel-mounted controls. ? Driving with a defective spiral cable is unsafe as it compromises essential safety features and should be replaced promptly.
