Introduction to the Steering Wheel Spiral Cable

The steering wheel spiral cable, also known as the clock spring, is an essential component in the vehicle’s steering system. It maintains a continuous electrical connection between the steering wheel and the car's electrical systems, such as airbag systems, steering wheel buttons, and car horns.

Functionality of the Spiral Cable

This cable is coiled in a spiral shape to allow the steering wheel to turn while maintaining a constant electrical connection. Positioned between the steering wheel and the steering column, the spiral cable winds and unwinds as the steering wheel rotates.

Consequences of a Faulty Spiral Cable

If the spiral cable is broken, drivers may experience a range of issues, from the airbag warning light activating to a loss of function in any controls on the steering wheel. In the worst-case scenario, a broken spiral cable could lead to airbag failure during an accident, posing significant safety risks.
