LOL, that is honestly all I can picture in my head with the word cable reel.

 

its a part in the airbag system tards.... its located under the steering wheel... happens to have wiring for the airbags and the horn in it...... so if its broken you wont have bags or a horn..... SRS light stays on and its really annoying and dangerous... so help the kid out dam

Well bump for a legitamate anwer.

 

i'll answer my own question. Went to a junkyard and picked up one for both a 93 civic ex and a 97 civic ex.
They are different part numbers, but they are interchangeable. They wiring is slightly different, but it can easily be figured out. Thats the only diff.
Thanks for the help guys.

 

if you dont need the cable reel for the 97 civic...ill take it..i need one of those things..i snapped mine not thinking it was resettable..lol

pm me

 

i actually put it on classifieds for $40 shipped.. can prolly do $35 if you want.

 

Hey man i had huge problems w/my cable reel and basically i don't recommend replacing it yourself. Its easy to put on but if you put the steering wheel on right afterwards and it's not 100% stright you will break the sensors from the turing radius of your steering wheel and the horn will NOT work. I had this problem i also have an extra cable reel if you wanna take it off my hands make me an offer. However i'd have Honda or someone that can put the steering wheel on perfectly or you will lose your horn. as far as a 97 cable reel goes not sure if its worth the effort b/c 92-95 cable reels are fairly easy to come accross. In fact i have 2 extra ones. Hope this helps

 

well.. one way of putting the steering wheel perfectly back on.. would be to mark it b4 you take it off???

 

actually.. to correct myself.
No it wont work. they are different, wiring wise. the 92-95 civics are a flat type of wire while the 96+ are just wires. Just want to update just in case somebody in the future runs acorss this post.
