1. 1

   NOTICE: Do not overrotate the clockspring rotor. The internal ribbon wire is connected to the clockspring rotor. The internal ribbon wire acts as a stop and can break due to internal connection. Failure to follow this instruction may result in component damage and/or a system malfunction.

   Rotate the clockspring rotor clockwise, carefully feeling for resistance to rotation.

   

2. 2
   Rotate the clockspring rotor counterclockwise until the electrical connector is in the 12 o'clock position.

   

3. 3
   Turn the clockspring rotor counterclockwise 3 full turns, ending with the clockspring rotor electrical connector at the 12 o'clock position.

   

4. 4
   When the clockspring is correctly centered, the wiring harness is visible through the pad window and the 2 arrows on the left side are aligned. Make sure the clockspring does not rotate from this position until the steering wheel is installed.

   

5. 5
   Attach the clockspring inner rotor to the outer housing.
