JL 5Q0953549E Air Bag Clockspring Spiral Cable Module

The JL 5Q0953549E is a replacement air bag clockspring module, also commonly referred to as a spiral cable, clock spring, or steering angle sensor coil. Mounted on the steering column between the steering wheel and the steering column itself, this critical safety and electrical component maintains a continuous electrical connection as the steering wheel rotates — enabling proper operation of the driver-side airbag, horn, cruise control switches, and other steering wheel-mounted controls.

Key Features:

• Direct-fit OEM-specification clockspring module for applicable VW/Audi/Skoda/SEAT platforms
• Maintains electrical continuity between the rotating steering wheel and the fixed vehicle wiring harness
• Supports airbag deployment circuit integrity, horn function, and steering wheel control buttons
• Installs in the steering column in the original mounting position (on steering bar)
• Compatible with both manual transmission and automatic transmission variants (without heated steering wheel)

OEM & Cross-Reference Part Numbers:

• OEM Part Number: 5Q0953549E
• Also known as: 5Q0-953-549-E / 5Q0953549C (superseded)

If steering wheel buttons have stopped functioning, the airbag warning light is illuminated, or the horn is inoperative, a failed clockspring is a common cause. Replacing the clockspring with part number 5Q0953549E restores proper electrical function to all steering wheel-mounted systems.
