2009 Lincoln Navigator Clock Spring Parts Questions & Experts Answers

• Q: How to Service and Repair the Clock Spring Assembly on 2009 Lincoln Navigator?

  A: The first step to handle Clock Spring repairs requires that you align the tilt steering column to help detach upper and lower shrouds. Before returning the vehicle to the customer you must depower the Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) and verify its operation while checking it for any faults. Before removing the steering wheel a technician needs to place the road wheels in straight-ahead position to protect the Clock Spring from damage along with uninstalling the driver air bag module. Before attaching the Clock Spring electrical connector sales technicians should remove the Clock Spring with its two securing screws. Installation of the Clock Spring requires waiting to remove the anti-rotation key until after placing the steering wheel; premature key removal endangers the Clock Spring. Finally attach the electrical connector after installing the Clock Spring with its two retaining screws. To achieve proper centralization of the Clock Spring refer to the following process: turn the inner rotor counterclockwise until light resistance develops and afterward keep rotating in the clockwise direction for two and one-quarter to two and one-half revolutions until the wiring and connector align at the 12 o'clock position. Complete Clock Spring centering should be checked before installing the steering wheel while maintaining road wheel straightness. The driver air bag module needs to be installed after removing the anti-rotation key and new Clock Spring if used. The completion of the procedure requires finishing the SRS repower step.
