Clockspring Assembly
The steering column has a clockspring assembly to transfer electrical signals from the steering wheel to the steering column. The clockspring has plugs which connect with the column harness and with the inflator assembly. Between them is a long flexible ribbon conductor which allows approximately five and one-half turns of the steering wheel. During installation, it is essential that the clockspring is installed so that its center position is aligned with the center position of the steering gear assembly.
