- Clock Spring & Steering Wheel Multi Function Buttons Replacement, Ford Mondeo Mk5.
The wires from the airbag electrical system connect through the base of the clock spring's electrical connector to the end of the conductive ribbon. The other end of the ribbon is attached through the wires on the top of the clock spring's electrical connector to the air bag unit. As the steering wheel revolves, the conductive ribbon coils and uncoils allowing electrical contact between the electrical system.
Over time the ribbon of wires in the clock spring can break causing the steering wheel multi function buttons, air bag and horn to stop working.

Many thanks. I needed to clean the contacts on the steering wheel buttons and this helped me get to them.
excellant
Did they work afterwards or did you have to do something else?
I’m from Mexico, and I have this problem so I thought that could be the steering wheel position sensor because I saw a video that say that… well you have helped me as much, thank you, great video.
Very nice, very exact, very simple to see all specs. Thank you!
I’ve literally just noticed how much you say literally 😆. Another great vid and happy new year.
lol, yes i need a new vocabulary😜happy new year
Happy new year Alan and team 😃 Great start to the new year a fix it video from Alan on the Mk 5 Mondingo lol 😆 See ya till the next time Stevie 😎
hi stevie and happy new year to you😜
Happy New year Alan, I believe sometimes compressed air blown under the switches can get them working if your lucky.
happy new year to you as well
Once you get the air bag out you can pull all the switched etc off easily. Each switch bundle is held in with 3 silver screws. Then to access the switches themselves there are 3 small black screws. Then pry the assembles apart as then have small snap type tags.
The switches are mounted on a membrane and have a conductive pad that can be cleaned is Isopropal and an ear but.
Then reassembly. They are good as new again
the hex and lug idea came from the mk2 focus way back in 2006, which didnt come to the mk4 mondeo till a year later
I'm impressed, most fleet owners wouldn't go to the expense of replacing stuff like that.
I guess with it being a taxi it's a little different due to the miles they cover? I'm pretty sure the fleet management for the place I work at wouldn't change the cruise control buttons on my van if needed! They would grumble at a turbo replacement on an older van!
No horn = no way for a Taxi driver to alert everyone near by and the punter they are outside ready to pick them up. Also an MOT failure for no horn. And the local authority probably imposes inspection restrictions on the terms of the license.
Great work mate. Top video
Happy New Year Alan and Monica ,,,
happy new year to you marius😜
Thanks Alan the video was very useful
Very detailed video, good job! I've done the same for a Renault Megane 2, and even repaired the wiring inside, which I assume it's possible for the Ford as well. Determination, good soldering tools and preferably a new ribbon would be required :) , I don't know which type of ribbon Ford uses. I did it because the price Renault was asking for it (~ 150 pounds, they only changed the whole block) seemed too much. How much are these Ford spare parts?
i sure the clock spring is around the £80
Good evening Allan ,once again another informative video.Could you tell me if it’s possible to clean the terminal in the clock spring or just to replace it?my issue is as I’m driving the lights on my steering wheel flash as I turn the steering wheel.Thanks for any information you could me.Cheers Chris
you could spray electrical cleaner on your steering wheel switch packs but i would just replace the clock spring as that is a tape of wires that break and cannot be repaired
@@alan4x thanks very much for that information. I will give it a go at the weekend Romain a taxi myself there’s always seems to be an issue. Thanks again for your time Chris
Alan happy New Year, wish you all the Best for 2020. Thank you very much for your content, really appreciated.
Cheers.
thank you and a very happy new year to you as well
Happy new year Alan 👍🏻
happy new year to you as well mark😜
Amazing videos!! 👍
Great informative video. I have problems with the cruise control buttons and the "flappy Paddles" on my 65 plate MK5 Mondeo automatic. Recent diagnostic report suggested faulty steering wheel module. Is that the same as the clock spring or something completely different. Your help would be appreciated.😊
chances are it will be the clock spring behind the steering wheel
Very useful tips.
Brilliant video thanx can I ask when one of these clock springs breaks does it show power steering malfunction on dash Alan do u know I've just disconnected steering column when doing clutch and turned steering wheel too much now I've gotta change clock spring
hi ian, never had power steering malfunction associated with the clock spring but yes if you turn the steering too far with the column disconnected it will break the tape of wires and cause numerous faults
Good work Alan happy new year 🔧🔧😃😃
cheers and happy new year to you😜
Happy new year Alan!
thank you and happy new year to you
Changed my clockspring, all buttons work well now except crusie control buttons. Cleaning did not help. Button lights working fine. Thats sad 😢
Hi Alan any chance you doing video of the same video for mk4.5 I’ve a 2014 2.0tdci and cruise control buttons no longer work common fault I’m lead to believe
I’ve done air blower and wd40 down the side of buttons worked for couple weeks then stopped again
if i get the chance i will, cheers
Alan Howatt great nice one
Where's Monica? 😃
My old SP socket set has a spinner handle exactly like yours. Do you have the sockets that drive on the flats as well?
Alan mate sorry to bother you again does the clock spring come separate as I have got new indicators the lot. To the tune of £280
hi william, yes the clock spring is one unit on its own ..i think it costs around 80-90 pounds
@@alan4x thanks pal whipped it out. All good.
EML stuck on? Or are they codes from removing the airbag?
i only had the ignition switched on.,..the eml lamp will only go out after i start the engine...happy new year😜
@@alan4x happy new year!
Ooooh I have a question and hopefully it's a case of no question is a stupid question.
I've got a Mk4 Mondeo and shortly after buying had some trouble with the directional controls on the steering wheel. Having worked on old bikes but not cars it had me a bit stumped.
I wanted to disconnect the battery to prevent the air bag going off, but the keyless start means that the steering lock turns on when I'm not in the car holding the clutch down. What's the best way to go about it? Do I need to disconnect the battery before removing the air bag?
you don't need to disconnect the battery to unplug the air bag..it won't go off
Great video alan very helpful as usual. Going to have to take my steering wheel off this week as I've a clicking noise when turning it have you ever come across this?
not a clicking noise, no
Hi Alan , just curious do you know if this problem affects the mk3 mondeo too? I have one and I get the symbol on the dash but the cruise control does not activate. It has me stumped. Much love
Hi Alan, enjoy watching your how to videos. Can you tell me if you have ever had to change a brake
Light switch on a 2014 plate 2.0 ltr mondeo. If so how do you do it. Thanks in advance for any reply
Hi Alan long time subscriber first time commenter my right hand side switch pack not working so changed for new pack rhs ,watched your video on that but still no joy exactly the same no voice no volume etc would it need new squib in your experience thanks by the way love your videos always informative and funny 👍
hi kieran...yes most of the time it is the clock spring unit where the tape of wires break...usually the horn stops working first but changed plenty due to multi function steering wheel buttons not working
@@alan4x thanks Alan top man 👍
@@kieranosullivan9794 can I ask if this worked? As I have the same issue with my SMAX mk2
I have the same problem on my mk5 Mondeo. The left switches work perfectly, but the ones on the right side don't, or they only read false input, I can't control the SYNC from the steering wheel basically. Do you think it's the clock spring? I already cleaned all the contacts thoroughly.
Am i the first to say happy new year Alan.
yes you are, thanks, and happy new year to you as well😜
Is it possible to replace the switch pack without removing the airbag?
Alan I have the MK4 59 plate is there much difference between MK4 MK5 doing this job happy new year fella keep them video’s coming 👍
no most vehicle clock springs come off in a similar way, once the air bag is off the steering wheel the rest is straight forward
@@alan4x Cheers Alan
Hi Alan. Is this the same procedure for the MK4? My cruise control intermittently works, and I have a spare (now scrap) MK4 to rob of parts!!
Great video content. I’m looking to buy a mondeo but the petrol mk5, would you recommend them in your professional opinion? 👍.
we don't have any petrol mk5 mondeos so i am not in a position to give any judgement, sorry
Please tell me where I can buy this part? And how important is it to match all the letters when purchasing? Thank you very much.
you can buy the clock spring unit from your local ford dealer or it may be worth looking on ebay for a deal
Is this the same procedure for the MK4?
similar but not quite the same
Thanks
hello, where can I order a clock spring for my mondeo because I can't find a suitable one anywhere
I observed that the steering wheel cover is not fully pressed into the wheel, on top area (12 o'clock), min: 10:05
holy shit well spotted lol😜
Does the battery need to be disconnected throughout this process?
you don't have to but it would be advisable
Hi Alan,I have a 2016 galaxy,,so a mk5 mondeo really,I have a knock from the steering wheel Airbag area when turning /parking could this be the clock spring doing this ? It does have lane control,and the self park system on it,if that makes a difference? All controls are still functioning tho,cheers steve
i have had the bolt that holds the steering wheel on come loose a few times,,worth getting it checked out
Hi Alan I have a MK4 mondeo could the clock spring cause sticking and binding feeling as turning the wheel sound comes from directly behind the wheel, no buttons effected
the clock spring wont cause any binding but sounds like something is not good, will be a case of dismantling the column to find the fault, not something i have come across
Thanks for the reply, I may just get a second hand full steering column if even you haven't heard of it. I've checked and greased the U-joints on the shaft but no joy. Its coming from right behind the wheel
Is it the same way of fitting for a mk4 mondeo . As I got fault codes saying sasm unit and cruise control issues
Hi Alan are the switch parts expensive
After disconnecting the battery, is there a re learning procedure for the ECU or does it remember everything ?
no it just remembers everything .. you don't even have to relearn the one touch windows
You missed the opportunity to do something involving Monika and a new years eve costume, or her going to a NYE event that you are left out of :)
lol if i had the time😜
@@alan4x Look up National Bikini Day, with 2 women in the office it has comic potential to go horribly wrong :)
Hi Alan. Got a 59 plate 2.0 petrol mondeo. Oil filter is covered in oil. Are these known for oil leaks?
Oil filter can untight and oil level light can light up (despite ok oil level).
i would check its tight and nit rotted if a metal canister type
No dissection of the old unit and it then visiting the skip. Disappointing!
I think it highly irresponsible to be showing people how to muck around with deadly air bags.
stick to children's programmes...their not so scary hahaha
