A clock spring connects the steering wheel to other electrical devices such as the airbag safety system, radio volume and station selections, horn and cruise controls. A clock spring can become faulty when wires become worn and break, causing a short or open circuit. The horn, radio controls and cruise controls can stop working and the airbag warning light can also come on.

Since the clock spring is responsible for two safety devices, including the horn and airbag safety system, replacing a faulty clock spring with a new unit is highly advised as soon as possible.
