Default Clock Spring
While changing out the Steering Column Lock, I managed to break a connector on the Clock Spring. The dealership has to order and may take 3 days. Is it fine to run the car without the connections from the Clock Spring to the 2 wiring harnesses, and airbag connectors without an issue? I know it's not safe, but can I still drive it ?

Yes, it is still drivable. I drove mine like that for about 3 months until I installed a new steering column.
