Does your car's horn not work? Airbag light on? Cruise control and volume controls out? Well the clock spring might be broken and need to be replaced. Here's how you can do it yourself!

Here's a list of all the parts and tools you'll need:
Clock spring:

Steering wheel puller:

Philips Screwdriver:
(US)

Metric socket set:

The steering wheel has various electronic switches that control the stereo, horn, airbag and cruise control, among others. These switches are linked to the vehicle's wiring system. However, they must be able to rotate with the steering wheel without twisting wires. This is achieved by using a ribbon cable called a clockspring.

It is common that a clock spring ribbon cable can break causing the symptoms outlined above. This may be caused by winding the steering wheel loose from the steering rack, exceeding the number of designed turns for the clock spring and snapping the ribbon cable, as in the case demonstrated here.

In this video, the clock spring is replaced on a 2005 Acura TSX, but is however the same procedure as a Honda Civic, Accord, Passport, Pilot, Element, CR-V, Odyssey and Acura EL, TSX, TL, TLX, RDX, NSX and MDX.

The airbag must be removed, wires disconnected and then the steering wheel must be removed. Additional covers around the steering column must also be freed in order to access the clock spring from the turn signal and wiper switches.
