Dodge Repair: Clock Spring replacement, clock spring, new clock

Question
I own a 2001 Stratus and the clockspring has apparently broken.  How do I fix this?


Answer
REMOVAL
Disconnect and isolate the battery negative remote cable. Wait two minutes for the system capacitor to discharge.
Remove the steering wheel. Refer to Steering, Column, Steering Wheel, Removal. Carefully feed all wires through the steering wheel armature to avoid damaging wires. When replacing a deployed Driver Airbag, a new clock spring must be installed.
Remove multi-function switch. Refer to Electrical, Lamps/Lighting - Exterior, Multi-Function Switch, Removal.
Remove the clock spring by lifting the top lock housing latches up slightly to guide it over the lock housing. The clock spring cannot be serviced and must be replaced if defective, damaged, or the vehicle has sustained an impact where the front airbags were deployed.
