What does an airbag clock spring assembly do?
A clock spring (spiral cable) is a coiled ribbon of wiring inside the steering column that keeps circuits connected as the wheel turns. This 6-circuit version carries the driver-airbag circuit along with the steering-wheel speed-control switches — it does not include radio-control circuits. Over time the ribbon can wear or break, interrupting the airbag circuit and often the speed-control function at the same time.
What are the symptoms of a failed clock spring?
A broken or worn clock spring may cause:
- An illuminated airbag / SRS warning light
- Speed control (cruise control) buttons that stop working from the wheel
- A stored SRS trouble code for the driver airbag circuit
- Intermittent symptoms that change as the wheel is turned
These symptoms can also come from other SRS or switch faults. Diagnose with a scan tool before assuming the clock spring is the cause.

Important safety warning
APDTY 636211 is a supplemental restraint system (SRS) component. Improper handling of airbag components can cause accidental deployment and serious injury. Follow the factory procedure and use a scan tool that can read and clear airbag codes. If you are not equipped to service the airbag system safely, have the part installed by a qualified technician.
Frequently asked questions
What does APDTY 636211 replace?
It replaces Chrysler/Dodge/Plymouth airbag clock spring numbers 4687630 and 5093254AA on compatible 1996–2000 minivan models with speed control and without radio controls.
Will it work if my van has radio controls on the wheel?
No. This 6-circuit clock spring is for models without radio controls. A van with radio controls on the steering wheel uses a different clock spring configuration.
Will it fix my airbag light or cruise control?
It can, if either was caused by a failed clock spring and the code is cleared after replacement. Diagnose the SRS system first.
Is this an airbag part?
Yes. Follow factory airbag safety procedures during installation.
