1993 - What is this Part and How does it work???
I'm not sure what this part is called, and I'm curious how it works, but I don't know. Any ideas???
You pull the Air Bag, Pull the steering wheel, and there it is... I found it bad because I was getting a Infl error on my DIC...
These picture show the new one (which you can't see the main spring, the old one you can see the main spring and it was broken...

It is called the clockspring. The clockspring is snapped into a plastic mounting platform on the steering column behind the steering wheel. This assembly consist of a flat ribbon like electrically conductive tape which winds and unwinds with the steering wheel rotation. The clockspring is used to maintain a continuous electrical circuit between the wiring harness and the driver's airbag module, along with horn and cruise control connections.
