Airbag Clock Spring

An airbag clock spring (also called spiral cable or contact coil) is a flat ribbon cable wound in a spiral inside a plastic housing, connecting the steering wheel controls (airbag, horn, cruise control, audio buttons) to the vehicle wiring. It wears out from constant steering rotation — typical lifespan is 80,000-150,000 km. Symptoms of failure include airbag warning light, non-functioning horn, or dead steering wheel buttons.

Our catalog includes 193 clock spring models covering 25+ vehicle brands: Toyota, Nissan, Honda, Hyundai, Kia, VW, Audi, BMW, Mercedes, Ford, Chevrolet, Dodge, Jeep, Subaru, Mazda, Mitsubishi, Suzuki, and more. Each model matches specific OE numbers — for example, 84306-58011 for Toyota Camry, 93490-2M300 for Hyundai Tucson. We add 10-15 new models monthly.

Yes, our clock springs are designed to match the exact wire count and connector configuration of OE units. Models for vehicles with cruise control, audio controls, and lane-keeping assist have additional contact circuits. Always verify the OE number and wire count before ordering — a 2-wire unit is not interchangeable with a 4-wire unit even for the same vehicle model.

Each unit is tested for electrical continuity across all circuits, insulation resistance (minimum 10MΩ), and rotational endurance (10,000 full steering cycles). The ribbon cable uses copper-clad steel conductors for flexibility and durability. Housing is made from engineering-grade ABS+PC plastic rated for -40°C to 85°C operating temperature.
