Steering angle sensor unwound
Today I was replacing the turn signal stalk. On the attempt, the steering angle sensor (or clock spring) popped off and the ribbon inside has become unravel. Am I screwed? New part or is there a way to redo it?

Can you post a photo? I'm confused as to how you managed to unravel the ribbon cable. The entire thing comes off in 1 piece.

Take a look at this thread if that helps.
