the clock spring is bad.this device has rotating terminals that alow electrical contactwhile turning the wheel.needs replacement need to remove steering wheel and airbag .proffesional job.
Yes, the airbag light serves as a warning that there is an error within the SRS (Supplemental Restraint System) system and if it is on then the airbags are disabled. However, It is common for the light to flash for about six seconds when the car is first started. This is the amount of time that the airbag control module takes to diagnose whether it has found any problems with any of the components that make up the SRS system. The most common components are the front, side and roof airbags. However there are many others, such as the clock-spring, impact sensor, passenger detection sensor and airbag module. If during this check any one of these components reports an error then the airbag light will come on or flash in series, serving as a warning that the SRS system needs your immediate attention.
AirBag, impact sensor, Signal Sensor, Clock Spring.
No, but you can install a spring suspension.
Take the airbag off the wheel.depending on what car, it either has screws on the back of the wheel or quik release clips. Make sure to center the wheel because its attached to a clock spring,which must stay centered. Failure to do so could cause accidental airbag deployment or make it not deploy during an accident. Always take precaution when handling airbags,disconnect all power because the bag is electronically discharged.
This is an airbag fault code. The airbag system in this car has a fuse in the main module that will open after airbag deployment or in the event of a short (as in your case) or malfunction in the airbags or wiring to the airbags. You must find the cause of the short and correct it, then change the airbag module, as the fuse is not a replacable item. A common short point in this car is the airbag clock spring under the steering wheel. This part has a contact that moves when the steering wheel is turned. The contact provides an electrical connection to the drivers airbag. The clockspring will sometimes wear out and cause a direct short. This will take out the thermal fuse and disable the airbag system. You need to have some electrical troubleshooting experience and have a multimeter and a service manual to troubleshoot and repair this. If the clockspring needs to be replaced you have to pull the steering wheel and dissasemble the steeing coulm. If you are mechanically inclined then go for it, if not leave this job to someone else! Hope this helps JSS
The clock spring is located inside the steering wheel behind the airbag.

It's most likely a broken clock spring. Does your horn work? If it doesn't, it's most definitely the clock spring. It's behind the airbag. From what I've been told, the airbag won't deploy, even in an accident.
Airbag is disabled. Possible broken spring under the steering wheel or bad connection.
sounds like the clock spring is shot Take it in for service, the airbag system is not for diy'rs.
Yes, the clockspring is part of the wiring of the airbag system. A faulty clockspring could keep the airbag from functioning.
