- Connects the wiring of your steering wheel buttons, airbag, and horn to your vehicle’s electrical system
- Allows the wires to turn with the motion of the steering wheel without becoming tangled or frayed
- Replacement requires the removal of the steering wheel — professional installation is recommended
The Air Bag Clockspring is a plastic, round component that is located behind the steering wheel. It connects your airbag wires to the electrical system. These wires must stay secure and in one place when your steering wheel moves and turns. The Air Bag Clockspring encases the bunched wires, giving them a way to move when the steering wheel does without getting worn out, frayed, or tangled. The enclosed wires power functions within the steering wheel, like: the airbag, horn, cruise control, and radio.
The Air Bag Clockspring in your INFINITI is made to stand-up to years and years of use. That said, if you notice the airbag light on your dash has turned on, it could be a sign that it's the right time to buy a new Air Bag Clockspring. Alternatively, if the buttons on your steering wheel or horn are no longer working, it may be time to install a new Air Bag Clockspring.
It’s recommended that you take your vehicle to an INFINITI service center to replace the Air Bag Clockspring as installation requires the removal of the airbag and steering wheel. After disconnecting the negative battery cable to disable the airbag safety system, a technician will remove the driver’s side airbag. Next, they will detach the steering wheel and remove the plastic clips and bolts holding the clockspring in place. Then, the worn out clockspring is pulled out, along with its electrical connectors. Finally, they’ll install the new Air Bag Clockspring by mounting it to the steering column, ensuring the alignment markers are in place, and connecting the wiring.
