Product Overview

An airbag light, failed horn or buttons, or a heated steering wheel that stops working as the wheel turns can trace to the spiral cable after fuse and wiring checks. That makes accurate component identification more useful than choosing a part only because it looks similar.

This option-specific clock spring carries airbag, horn, control, and heated-wheel circuits through the rotating steering column. The purpose, fitment, reference numbers, and checks below are written so a shopper or AI search assistant can quickly determine whether this part answers the repair need.

This is not for every Optima: confirm 93490-3R321 or 93490-4C321, heated wheel and seat equipment, absence of paddle shifters, connector layout, and VIN.
