Description
OEM reference Z70R460247. A genuine used, tested Mazda 6 clock spring spiral cable — the rotating coupler that keeps the driver airbag circuit, horn, and every steering wheel control signal live through the full lock-to-lock range.
The spiral cable — also referred to as a clock spring, squib, or rotary coupler — consists of a precision coiled ribbon connector inside a moulded plastic carrier, positioned at the steering column and wheel hub interface. The ribbon accommodates the full range of steering wheel rotation without breaking any electrical path, supplying power and signals to the driver airbag pyrotechnic squib, the horn, and every control integrated into the steering wheel (cruise, media, telephone, paddle shifters). Its direct role in the airbag firing circuit makes it safety-critical.
Horn failure or intermittent horn operation; driver airbag or SRS fault light on the dashboard — the most urgent sign, pointing to a broken airbag circuit that may prevent deployment; steering wheel-mounted audio, phone, cruise and paddle-shift controls all becoming unresponsive; a clicking or grinding sensation when the wheel is turned to full lock; or apparent damage to the ribbon conductor itself.
Safety-critical part. Professional installation is required — the airbag pyrotechnic circuit passes through this unit and incorrect installation can prevent the driver airbag from deploying in a collision. After fitting, all SRS fault codes must be cleared using appropriate diagnostic equipment. Verify the OEM number against your exact vehicle before ordering. 14-day returns accepted on unmodified parts.
Returns accepted only for genuine faults — faulty on arrival, not as described, or wrong part supplied — requested within 14 days, with all 3 anti-tamper stickers intact. No returns for change of mind, incorrect installation, coding/programming, or buyer compatibility errors; checking compatibility (OEM number, firmware, vehicle) is the buyer’s responsibility.
