The Air Bag Clockspring in your Nissan is a circular plastic mechanism that is located behind the steering wheel. It connects the wires from your airbag and buttons on your steering wheel to the electrical system in your car. These wires need to stay put and intact when you're turning your steering wheel. The Air Bag Clockspring holds the group of wires, letting them rotate with the steering wheel and not get tangled, worn, or frayed. The wires support steering wheel functions, including: the cruise control on/off, radio, airbag, and horn.
Designed for long-term use, the Air Bag Clockspring in your Nissan is engineered to withstand daily wear and tear. That said, if you see that the dashboard airbag light is on, it may mean that it's the right time to buy a new Air Bag Clockspring. Also, if your horn or steering wheel buttons aren't working anymore, that's also a sign it's a good time for a new Nissan Air Bag Clockspring.
It’s recommended that you take your vehicle to a Nissan service center to replace the Air Bag Clockspring as installation requires the removal of the airbag and steering wheel. After disabling the airbag safety system, a technician will take out 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 technician will pull the impaired clockspring and its electrical connectors from the steering column. To finish, they'll mount the new Air Bag Clockspring to the steering column, ensure that the alignment markers are properly situated, and then connect the wires.
