- Rotate the clock spring approximately 3.6 turns clockwise to align the mating marks.
- Check that the white cable can be seen from the both window for checking the neutral point when the mating marks are aligned.NOTE: If the white or black cable can be seen from either window, the neutral point is not aligned correctly.
