CLOCKSPRING
DESCRIPTION
The clockspring assembly is secured with three
screws (1) onto the top of the Steering Column Con-
trol Module (SCCM) (Refer to 19 - STEERING/COL-
UMN/STEERING COLUMN CONTROL MODULE -
DESCRIPTION) near the top of the steering column
behind the steering wheel.
The clockspring consists of a flat, round molded plas-
tic case. Within the plastic case is a spool-like molded
plastic rotor with a hub. The surface of the rotor hub
has a large center hole. Within the plastic case and
wound around the rotor spool is a long ribbon-like
tape that consists of several thin copper wire leads
sandwiched between two thin plastic membranes. The
outer end of the tape terminates at the connector ter-
minals that align themselves into the SCCM self-dock-
ing connector that faces the instrument panel, while
the inner end of the tape terminates at the pigtail
wires and connector receptacles on the hub of the
clockspring rotor that face the steering wheel.
