Interchangeability of clock springs (spiral cables)
So my clock spring broke and the first replacement one I got was also broke. I soldered the first one back together and it looks ok but I decided to just get another one because I couldn't think of a good way to insulate the soldered wires. The part number (under the bar code) on the origonal is UIA.N6N.2196 and the part number on one I found at a junk yard (same year and same options) is UWA.Y78.5626. I think it would work but before I drive the 2 hours to the junkyard I wanted to ask to see if someone smarter than I am could tell me if it would work. Thanks.

NEVER SOLDER AN SRS/Air bag CIRCUIT!!!!! You will change the resistance values in the squib that will affect operation. It may not deploy when you need it, and it may deploy inadvertantly if you make a mistake.
By driving without the clock spring, you will have a SRS/Air bag MIL lamp on, and you will have no SRS protection in event of a collision.
Another circuit you should never solder is an O2 or A/F sensor circuit. Again, it changes resistance in the circuit. It will not give the ECU correct exhaust gas calculations.
