WARNING: Incorrect centralization may result in premature component failure. If in doubt when centralizing the clockspring, repeat the centralizing procedure. Failure to follow this instruction may result in personal injury. CAUTION: Make sure the road wheels are in the straight ahead position. NOTE: If a clockspring has rotated out of center, follow through with this step. Centralize the clockspring. 1. Hold the clockspring outer housing stationary. 2. Depress the clockspring locking tab to release the rotor. 3. CAUTION: Overturning will destroy the clockspring. The internal ribbon wire acts as the stop and can be broken from its internal connection. While holding the clockspring locking tab in the released position, turn the rotor counterclockwise, carefully feeling for the ribbon wire to run out of length, and a slight resistance is felt. Stop turning at this point. 4. While holding the clockspring locking tab in the released position, turn the clockspring clockwise approximately three turns. This is the center point of the clockspring. ? Release the clockspring locking tab. Do not allow the rotor to turn from this position. All vehicles 3. NOTE: Slight turning of the clockspring rotor is allowable for alignment purposes to the steering column. With the flats of the clockspring aligned to the flats of the steering column, slide the clockspring onto the steering column engaging the retaining tabs. 4. Route the clockspring wire harness down the side of the steering column and into the holders. 5. Connect the two clockspring electrical connectors. Position the clockspring electrical connectors onto the bracket. 6. Install the key-in-ignition warning indicator switch. 7. Install the passive anti-theft system (PATS) transmitter. 1. Position the PATS transmitter to the steering column. 2. Install the screw.
