Thanks for the replies.

How do I know if it's > missing too? > The "clock spring" (also known as the "spiral cable", or "cable reel") allows electrical connection to the airbag to be maintained as you turn the steering wheel in the process of steering the car. It's sort of an update to the old pin-and-ring assembly that horns used to use. It is inside the airbag assembly. You get a new one with the new airbag. -- TeGGeR® The Unofficial Honda/Acura FAQ www.tegger.com/hondafaq/ |

The clock spring is under the steering wheel. All you should need is a new
bag unless they screwed up the connector on the wires that plug into the connector on the air bag. Make sure you get the bolts that hold the bag in place.
