Ok this is what I did. With the steering knuckle off I turned the steering wheel to the right and I expected it to stop. It didnt. I heard like a crack noise then I stopped. I then turned the wheel to the left. I put the knuckle back on and started the car. Now I got an AIR Bag light on. Why? I was installing my factory K member. Thanks

There is a coil of sorts under the steering wheel that you broke. I broke mine putting an engine in the car a while back. I forget the actual GM part name, but it is what transfers the power to the airbag and radio controls (if you have them) while the wheel is turning.

Is it expensive? Also how do I replace it? Thanks

Don't know - I never bothered to replace it cause I generally have a harness and helmet on in the car One of the mechanics at the shop says it is pretty easy to replace - the connector is down on the steering column (it is yellow) and you have to pull the airbag off of the steering wheel.

Many call it a clock spring. GM calls it a Coil Kit, Infl Rst Strg Whl Mdl. They list for around $197.

100% correct.

The clockwork spring will only rotate 2.5 turns in either direction of dead center. I tried to solder one back together and it didn't work. They have spot welded tabs. Soldering held for awhile and then broke again.

Right now mine is broke and I am just using a "Simulator" which is a complex network of resistors and coil that will trick the airbag module into thinking it has a proper connection to the starting coil of the airbag.

200 is a lot of money when I don't really drive the car around too much.
