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.

5. As shown in the figure, connect the circuit tester to the special tool (MB991222) and check to see that there is a continuity between the terminals.
