  Q: How to Install a Clock Spring Assembly on Chrysler Crossfire?

  A:

  First, fit the steering angle sensor onto the Clock Spring by using the guide points marked on both parts. If keeping the Clock Spring, be sure to remove anything holding the Clock Spring rotor in place so it remains centered on the Steering Column; if no centering was maintained, you should center it again. After that, install the Clock Spring on the steering column and hold it in place with two screws tightened to 1 Nm (9 in. lbs.). Following that, screw the tapered bolt into the Steering Wheel's threaded end and into the steering column. Then, attach the driver Air Bag and all its screws to the steering wheel. For now, wait to reconnect the negative battery cable and you should execute the Supplemental Restraint System verification test procedure after serving any element in the Supplemental Restraint System.

  Q: Is It Necessary to Replace the Clock Spring if It's Faulty, Damaged, or After Airbag Deployment on Chrysler Crossfire?

  A:

  Should the Clock Spring be faulty or if after the driver Air Bag has been deployed, it should be changed because it cannot be fixed. Begin the process by taking off the negative battery cable to turn off the supplemental restraint system and wait two minutes for the system capacitor to discharge. Make sure that the Steering Wheel is placed straight until the tires are pointing straight ahead. Begin by taking off the negative battery cable, removing the driver side air bag and make sure you don't turn an intact air bag face down on a hard object. Gently unscrew the tapered bolt holding the steering wheel with a suitable tool and then remove the steering wheel. After that, get rid of the two screws attaching the Clock Spring to the Steering Column upper housing and take out the Clock Spring, splitting it from the steering angle sensor. Should you use the old Clock Spring, attach the rotor to the case and leave it in place until it is installed again; if you don't reuse it, re-center it just before installing. Set the steering angle sensor on the Clock Spring at the same alignment points found on the housings. Should the Clock Spring be reused, thoroughly remove any mounting tools used to keep it where it should be. Mount the Clock Spring on the steering column and then attach it with the two screws. While doing so, don't tighten the screws more than 1 N.m (9 in.lbs.). Install the steering wheel using the tapered bolt first and afterward put the driver air bag and screws onto the steering wheel. Wait to link the negative battery cable again until you have finished the test after working on any part of the Supplemental Restraint System.
