Steering Wheels Clock Spring For Jeep Wrangler Cherokee 56009070 56047103AC

The horn stops working, the airbag warning light comes on, and the buttons on the steering wheel go dead - often all in the same week. That combination points at a worn clock spring, the coiled ribbon cable that keeps electrical connections alive while the steering wheel turns.

What the coiled ribbon actually does

A steering wheel rotates through several turns lock to lock while still carrying power and signal to the horn, the wheel-mounted switches and the driver's airbag. A clock spring handles that with a flat ribbon cable coiled inside a housing, winding and unwinding as the wheel moves instead of twisting a loom until it fatigues. Years of that motion eventually wears a conductor through, and once one track opens, the other circuits sharing the housing tend to drop out with it. That is why the horn, the switches and the warning light so often fail together rather than one at a time.

Cruise control decides which part you need

The supplier lists this unit for vehicles without cruise control and without speed control. That distinction matters more than the build year: if your Jeep has cruise control fitted, this is not the part listed for it. The stated fitment runs Jeep Cherokee 1997-2001, Jeep TJ 1997-2000 and Jeep Wrangler 1997-2000/2002, with the 1997 Wrangler SE Sport Utility 2-Door 2.5L specifically excluded as not fitting. TJ is the Wrangler's own body code, so those two lines describe the same vehicle while giving different year spans. Work from your VIN and the number on the unit you are removing.

Key features

• Complete spiral cable assembly: supplied as a whole unit rather than a ribbon or repair section.
• Non-cruise application: listed by the supplier for vehicles without cruise control and without speed control.
• Six cross-references published: enough numbers to check against whatever is printed on your existing housing.
• Addresses a grouped fault: the supplier names a silent horn, an illuminated fault light and non-working steering wheel buttons as the symptoms this part is sold to resolve.
• Aftermarket replacement: nothing in the source states this is a genuine or original-equipment part, so it is not described as one.

What's in the box

• 1x Spiral Cable Clock Spring

Read this before the wheel comes off

• This part sits inside the supplemental restraint system and carries the driver's airbag circuit. It is not a do-it-yourself fitment.
• Fitting must be carried out by a qualified person, with the battery disconnected and the restraint system left to discharge before any work begins.
• The unit has to be correctly centred against the steering position as it goes in, which is another reason the job belongs with someone who does it regularly.
• The airbag warning light must be confirmed out before the vehicle is driven. A light still showing means the restraint system is not working as intended.
• The numbers above are cross-references for matching an existing part, not a statement of who manufactured this one.
• If you are unsure, check your VIN and compare your existing unit against the photos before ordering.

Get the part number off your old clock spring first, confirm whether your Jeep has cruise control, and book the fitment in with an auto electrician or workshop.
