Re:Clock spring, Airbag /Horn

I am on the hunt for the illusive clockspring. Airbag light on constantly and horn no longer works.

Part# AM81A1RY09181 shows on the squib itself.

Seems to be a unicorn for the 2003 JB33 era Jimnys (SN413, G13BB, Cabrio), as Suzuki only lists the part as the whole unit with stalks (#37400-81A83 and it's no longer manufactured) and never just the squib itself.

Have scoured ebay, Suzuki Dealership parts locations, and many parts sites without any luck.

Anyone have a lead on one, or a good junkyard parts-picker supplier?


Appreciate any leads!

These can be repaired by someone with experience in electronics, or a patient and careful DIYer.

Typically the ribbon cable inside has come adrift at one end. Sometimes the cable itself has cracked, although again that typically happens near the terminals.

You may have made it slightly more difficult for yourself if the part was removed and then allowed to spin.  It is easier if it is kept at the baseline position and the number of windings about the spool are noted on disassembly.  (That is why new ones come with a tab that is pulled after the part is installed.)  But this is not impossible to overcome.



By the way, "squib" means a small explosive, probably not good to use that word in discussing this part as people may think you are talking about for example the airbag unit.
