Mercedes Air Bag Clockspring - Genuine Mercedes 1634600149

Product Information

An air bag clockspring (also called a spiral cable or contact reel) is a coil-shaped electrical connector located inside the steering wheel. It maintains a continuous electrical connection between the vehicle’s wiring harness and steering wheel-mounted components—such as the airbag, horn, and steering wheel controls—while allowing the wheel to turn freely.

• Airbag warning light illuminated, due to lost connection to the driver’s airbag.
• Non-functioning steering wheel controls, such as radio buttons or cruise control switches.
• Horn not working, as the circuit through the clockspring may be broken.

About Genuine Mercedes

The original parts used by Mercedes Benz to build your car are available as replacement parts under the “Genuine Mercedes Benz” brand. Manufactured under the direction of Mercedes Benz, expect excellent quality and a premium price since these parts are exclusively available through the Mercedes Benz Dealership network.

You may not realize this, but the parts that make up your Mercedes-Benz are not necessarily manufactured by Mercedes-Benz. No cause for concern, as Mercedes-Benz designs the part, hires a manufacturer, and ensures its quality to you. In fact, many of these manufacturers have been making parts for Mercedes-Benz for decades. In our industry these manufacturers are called OEM (Original Equipment Manufacturers), and these are often brands you recognize, including Lemforder, ZF, Sachs, Bosch, Valeo, Zimmermann, Siemens VDO, Corteco, and more. Don’t be surprised to open that Genuine Mercedes-Benz parts box and find an OEM branded part inside, simply with the addition of a Mercedes-Benz logo.

Be sure to keep an eye out for OE tags on our product pages to quickly identify parts coming direct from OE manufacturers. That extra bit of insight could save you some serious money while shopping! Refer to our OE Academy for further information regarding the OE/OEM tags throughout the site.
