Airbag Clock Spring Replacement Jeep Patriot
You may need to replace your vehicle's airbag clock spring if you notice the airbag light on the dashboard remains illuminated or if your steering wheel controls (like the horn, cruise control, or audio buttons) stop working. Since the clock spring connects the airbag to the electrical system, these issues often indicate a malfunction, and it's important to have it checked and replaced for safety.
If you plan on doing the engine mount replacement yourself these are the steps and tools Core Auto Services uses to complete this process.
