Clock Spring Check

If any malfunction is found in the following inspections, replace the clock spring with a new one.

1. Check the connectors and protective tube for damage, and the terminals for deformation.
2. Visually check the case for damage.
3. Check to see that there is a charge (continuity) between the C-308 clock spring connector terminal 1 and C-305 horn switch.
