What Is a Clock Spring?

A clock spring (also called a spiral cable, rotary connector, or combination switch component) is a coiled ribbon cable housed inside your steering column. It allows the steering wheel to rotate freely in both directions while maintaining a continuous electrical connection to:

• 🚨 Airbag / SRS system
• 🔔 Horn
• 🛷 Cruise control buttons
• 🎵 Audio / phone / MFD steering wheel controls

When the internal ribbon wears out or breaks, these systems fail — often triggering an airbag warning light and disabling the horn simultaneously.
