Clock springs play a vital role in ensuring the modern car's functionality and safety, particularly for critical systems like airbag deployment and horn operation. Over time, some of the wires in the clock spring can break, causing some electrical components in the steering wheel not to work. Replacing a failed clock spring restores proper operation of these essential safety and convenience features.

Common Symptoms of Failure: Airbag warning light illuminated, non-functioning horn, inoperative steering wheel controls, or clicking/rubbing sounds when turning the steering wheel.
