#756481January 6, 2002
AIR BAGS
CLOCKSPRING ASSEMBLY IN THE STEERING COLUMN THAT CARRIES POWER TO THE DRIVER SIDE AIRBAG INSTALLED IN THE STEERING WHEEL IS BROKEN AND THUS THERE IS NO ELECTRIC CONNECTION TO THE AIRBAG. THE FAILURE IS DUE TO THE WAY THE CONNECTING WIRE, CONSISTING OF A FOIL ON A FLEXIBLE BELT, IS WOUND INTO "CLOCKSPRING". THE BELT MAKES TWO BENDS WHICH CAUSES STRETCHING PRESSURE TO THE FOIL AND IN THE LONG RUN WEARS THE FOIL AND BREAKS THE CONNECTION. THE SAME CONFIGRATION CARRIES ALSO THE SIGNAL HORN CONNECTION AND WHEN THE PARALLEL RUNNING FOILS BREAK ALSO HORN FAILS TO WORK. *AK
