Signs of a faulty part

If you notice any of the following, the part likely needs replacement:

  • Airbag warning light on the dashboard
  • Steering wheel controls (horn, audio, cruise) intermittent or non-functional
  • Clicking noise felt when turning the steering wheel

Installation information

Requires the steering wheel and airbag to be removed — always centre the clock spring correctly before installation to avoid damaging the internal ribbon cable.

Frequently asked questions

It’s the only electrical connection to the steering wheel airbag — if it fails, the airbag may not deploy in a collision, and given the wheel’s constant rotation, this ribbon-cable design is a common wear point.
