Question

I have my replacement steering column laying on a bench, someone told me that if I turned the steering wheel more than 360 degrees in either direction I would damage somthing inside the column. Is this true? and what would be damaged? Thank you.

You will damage the SIR coil if you turn it too far. And if you forget where center is on the steering wheel, you will have to realign it.

I put an amp meter to the air bag connections and got 0.0, does that mean I am OK?
