⚠️ Critical Fitment Check - Read Before Ordering

For the lowest possible risk of ordering the wrong part, confirm:

🔧 What Is This Part?

What does it control?

Its purpose is to maintain electrical continuity between the fixed steering column and electrical circuits in the rotating steering wheel. Depending on the vehicle specification, those circuits can include the driver airbag connection, horn and steering-wheel controls. Exact circuit allocation varies by vehicle.

✅ Parts Compatibility Chart

The following is a researched application guide for part number 22914039. "Selected applications" means the model family is supported by catalogue evidence but a VIN / existing-number check is still required before treating an individual vehicle as confirmed.

🔍 Corsa D - Exact Combinations Currently Recorded

Part number 22914039 must not be advertised as fitting every Corsa D. The current eBay compatibility record for this listing identifies the following late Corsa D combinations for 2012, 2013 and 2014:

🔢 Part Number & Catalogue Reference Guide

Exact photographed part: 22914039

Catalogue data associates the following numbers with this component family:

The additional code 2910047M is visible on the photographed label. It is treated here only as a supplier / production marking and is not advertised as a confirmed interchange number.

⛔ When You Should NOT Order This Part

Some additional catalogue databases reference this component family against other vehicles such as Chevrolet Orlando J309, but an exact complete production-year range was not sufficiently verified for this listing build. It has therefore intentionally not been advertised as confirmed fitment.

🛑 Possible Symptoms of a Faulty Clock Spring

Depending on vehicle specification and the actual fault, symptoms may include:

• SRS / airbag warning lamp illuminated.
• Relevant steering-wheel or airbag circuit diagnostic trouble codes.
• Horn becoming intermittent or inoperative.
• Steering-wheel buttons working intermittently or not at all.
• Electrical functions changing as the steering wheel is turned.
• Unusual rubbing / clicking from the clock-spring area if the mechanism is physically damaged.

🏆 Why Exact Part-Number Matching Matters

The clock spring forms part of the rotating electrical connection between the steering wheel and the vehicle. For an SRS-related component, choosing a unit simply because it looks similar is poor practice.

A low-cost replacement with the wrong circuit specification or connector arrangement is not a saving if it causes repeat labour, diagnostic time or another parts order. Correct identification comes first.

🧰 Fitting Information - SRS Component

Recommended high-level installation sequence

1. Confirm the VIN/application, old part number, connector layout and replacement configuration before dismantling the vehicle.
2. Place the road wheels / steering in the manufacturer-specified straight-ahead position.
3. Follow the vehicle manufacturer's SRS power-down procedure, including the specified battery isolation and waiting period. Do not invent a universal waiting time.
4. Remove the driver airbag and steering wheel only in accordance with the correct workshop procedure for the exact vehicle.
5. Remove the appropriate steering-column trim and disconnect the clock-spring / steering-column electrical connections.
6. Compare both units side-by-side: number, connector count, pins, locating tabs, housing and indexing must correspond.
7. Keep the clock spring correctly centred. Never freely rotate an uninstalled unit without knowing its centred position because the internal ribbon can be damaged at full lock.
8. Reassemble using the manufacturer's specified procedures and VIN-specific torque values.
9. Restore power in accordance with the SRS procedure.
10. Use an SRS-capable diagnostic tool to scan the vehicle, investigate remaining faults and perform any required setup / programming / calibration for that vehicle.
11. Confirm correct SRS warning-lamp behaviour and test relevant horn / steering-wheel functions before returning the vehicle to service.

🔩 Typical Tools Required

⏱️ Estimated Workshop Labour Guide

For customer budgeting only, a reasonable planning allowance for a straightforward clock-spring replacement is approximately 1.0-1.5 labour hours. This is not a manufacturer book time and can increase where diagnosis, seized fasteners, programming, calibration or other repairs are required.

Garage Labour Estimate = Hourly Rate × Labour Time

Labour only. Parts, diagnosis, programming, calibration, consumables and other repairs are excluded. The table replaces a JavaScript calculator so the listing remains static.

📦 Important Delivery Address Notice

🧾 VAT / Used Goods Accounting

Where this used item is sold under the Global Accounting / second-hand margin scheme, VAT is accounted for under the applicable margin-scheme rules and is not shown separately on the sale. There is therefore no separately stated VAT amount for the buyer to reclaim on that transaction.

↩️ Returns & Correct-Part Ordering

Our objective is to help you order the correct component the first time. Please use the compatibility chart, compare the photographs and part number, and request a VIN / registration check through eBay Messages whenever uncertain.

Returns are handled in accordance with the return policy displayed by eBay on the order, applicable consumer law and applicable eBay buyer protections. Nothing in this description removes rights available for an item that does not match the listing or where eBay's fitment protection applies.

Where eBay policy and applicable law permit a deduction because a returned component has been used, damaged, altered, contaminated or returned incomplete beyond what was reasonably necessary to inspect it, any such deduction will be made only within those rules.
