Steering Wheel Spiral Cable Assembly

Why You Need This Part

The spiral cable assembly connects important electrical signals between your steering wheel and the rest of the car. It lets the airbag, horn, and steering wheel buttons work while allowing the wheel to turn. This is crucial for both safety and comfort during driving.

How This Part Works

The cable sits inside the steering column and coils and uncoils as you turn the wheel. It maintains a continuous connection for the airbag deployment system and other controls, even with full wheel rotation.

What Happens If It Breaks

If the spiral cable fails, your airbag warning light might come on, and the horn or steering wheel buttons may stop working. Most importantly, the driver’s airbag might not deploy during an accident, which is a serious safety risk. Early replacement is vital to keep your vehicle safe and functional.
