clock spring
How do you turn off the air bag light on a 2000 Ford Expedition?
Under the horn pad there is a clock spring. That is what normally fails. If your horn does not blow then that is the problem. It would be adviseable to pay a repair shop to make the repair.
Why did my horn and cruse control go out at the same time?
You didn't mention the year, make and model of your vehicle but, if those controls are located in the steering wheel, the "clock spring" is probably at fault. The "clock spring" transfers the electrical connections from the rotating steering wheel to the steering column.
Why did my horn just go out have checked all fuses?
You failed to mention the car make and modle. If it has a driver's side air bag then the clock spring is possibily bad.
What is a clockspring and how much does it cost to repair?
a clock spring is a tempered metal coil that produces energy regulated thru a series of gears to make the clock run so you can tell time.Most clock shops will charge about 75 to 100.00 to repair this. In automotive terms it is an electrical connection between the steering wheel and the steering column. It carries power to the accessories mounted on the steering wheel such as the horn and air bag. It resembles a clock spring.
You need to know where the horn is at on the SC2 now the horn will not work the fuse is still good?
I've replaced mine twice now. The switch pads built into the steering wheel on my 97SC2 each have two small 'bubble' contacts (one at the top and one at the bottom of the switch). Pressing either switch will make the horn relay cycle and the horn blow. 97s are one of the years that have the relay integrated on the horn bracket (both located under the drivers side headlamp). If your model has a separate relay, it will be in the under-hood fuse block alongside the fuses. There is also a small chance that the 'clock spring' is bad. The clock spring is a set of wires that sit under the air bag on the steering wheel and carry the light switch, horn, etc wires (It's how the horn and switches can work while you are turning the steering wheel). Don 't forget to check wiring for chaffed wire or loose ground connection. Factory Switch runs $32, Horn (with relay) $50, clock spring $120 Good luck
Will the clock spring on a ford explorer make the air bag light stay on?
yes, sure can.
What would make the horn not work on a 1987 Honda Civic?
not having a horn
What would cause the steering wheel to make a creaking noise when moving it?
it would be in need of some lubrication Perhaps bad or weak clock-spring (real part) inside steering column
How is energy stored in a clock?
Energy in a clock is typically stored in a battery or through a winding mechanism. The battery provides power to run an electronic clock, while winding a mechanical clock stores potential energy through the tension in a spring, which is released gradually to drive the clock's movement.
Why would the cruise control and horn not work on a 1994 Ford Explorer?
Two words.....Clock spring Where is the clock spring? The clockspring is located on the end of the steering column just below the steering wheel. The wiring for the items on the wheel are routed through the 'clockspring' so they wind and unwind as the wheel is turned. The airbag is included in this wiring so be careful if you mess with it and remove fuses! There may be more than one connector in there depending on model year so you may have a loose connector yet if the cruise is not working. I would check fuses for the cruise system before I messed with the closckspring again. You can change one of these yourself, but be very careful, as mentioned before the airbag circuit is in there and the 'spring' can become 'unwound' and you will have a mess on your hands. If in doubt, take it to a pro! ==Headline== I had the clock spring replaced on my 1995 Explorer this past Friday. I now have my horn, radio/stero and antenna back. My cruise control still does not work, but hey three out of four problems corrected for $82.00, plus $35.00 in labor is not bad at all. I would not suggest you try to change the clock spring at home. We were going to do it ourselves, but thank goodness we didn't try it. It isn't has easy as some make it out to be on the internet. Now I will have to try to determine what is wrong with my cruise control. lilkit2
