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.

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

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.

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?

Is that the same as the clock spring or something completely different. Your help would be appreciated.😊

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?
