Mitsubishi i-MiEV Airbag Clock Spring
This airbag clock spring fits the Mitsubishi i-MiEV. It sits behind the steering wheel and keeps the driver airbag, horn and steering wheel controls connected while the wheel turns. It is a black plastic unit with one and four pin connections.
Replace the clock spring if the airbag warning light is on, the horn has stopped working, or the steering wheel buttons cut out when you turn the wheel. These faults often point to a broken ribbon inside the clock spring. The ribbon wears each time the wheel turns lock to lock, and once it breaks the airbag may not work in a crash. An airbag warning light is also an MOT fail, so the fault should be put right as soon as you can.
