RESISTOR FOR SPIRAL CONTACT

RESISTOR FOR SPIRAL CONTACT

Product Description:

Maserati part number 163816 is a resistor-for-spiral-contact. It is a small electrical component that is used to protect the clock spring from electrical surges. The clock spring is a spiral-wound electrical connector that allows the steering wheel to turn while still maintaining an electrical connection to the driver airbag, horn, and other steering wheel-mounted controls.

The resistor-for-spiral-contact is located inside the clock spring assembly. It is connected to the clock spring connector and the steering wheel airbag. The resistor helps to absorb any electrical spikes or surges that may occur, which can help to prevent damage to the clock spring and the airbag system.

If the resistor-for-spiral-contact fails, it can cause the clock spring to malfunction. This can lead to a variety of problems, including:

• The driver airbag may not deploy in the event of a crash.
• The horn may not work.
• The steering wheel-mounted controls may not work.

It is important to note that the resistor-for-spiral-contact is a consumable item and will eventually need to be replaced. The exact replacement interval will vary depending on the make and model of the vehicle, but it is generally recommended to have it replaced every 50,000 to 75,000 miles.

Here is a summary of the purpose of Maserati part number 163816 resistor-for-spiral-contact:

• To protect the clock spring from electrical surges.
• To ensure that the clock spring continues to function properly and reliably.
• To prevent damage to the clock spring and the airbag system.
• To help ensure that the driver airbag deploys in the event of a crash.
• To help ensure that the horn and steering wheel-mounted controls work properly.
