check for continuity through all the connections.
Hi There Heath. I was wondering the same thing. I have my VX SS clock spring removed but can only get continuity through one leg of each connector. My airbag light works fine, the horn works fine, but the radio controls on the steering wheel don’t. I have replaced the controls but same issue.Hi everyone.
To dig up a previous question here.
I have changed my clockspring to fix an airbag issue unsuccessfully.
When testing the clockspring, is there meant to be continuity through all wires and pins?
Mine has steering wheels controls and the horn and audio connectors have full continuity but the airbag connector has continuity through only pin.
Is this a healthy clockspring as i have heard some people say this is normal?
Thanks
All air bag wiring connectors have a shorting bar inside the connector designed to join the terminal pins and bleed off any stray voltage or static electricity and minimise the chance of accidental deployment when being disassembled or repaired. You will need to defeat this shorting bar if you want to test each wire individually.can only get continuity through one leg of each connector.
Hi Heath, I purchased a second hand clock spring, which has 12 months warranty, and tested the connector wiring between connectors and harness pins. I found the horn and radio wires both had continuity but could also only get one wire of the airbag connector to buzz through. Therefore I also tend to agree this must be normal for a good clockspring. Do your steering wheel buttons work correctly as mine don’t?Hi everyone.
