2005 SAAB 9-5 clock spring harness + LOF
1/11/2022 @ alpine autohaus @ 187,559
after a couple of clock spring exchanges, they determined it’s probably the harness that goes to the clock spring. So Goldwing sent me one… but it was the wrong one. Next shipment was the right one. Installed, and the airbag light went off and stayed off…so far.
