ABSTRACT:
An electrical connector arrangement for a motor vehicle steering assembly which includes a stationary steering column member rotatably supporting a steering shaft fixed with a steering wheel and characterized in that the steering column member supports a pair of concentric conductor rings that are adapted to be electrically connected to a sensor that forms a part of an occupant restraint cushion system. A heater element is provided for heating the conductor rings so as to prevent frost from forming thereon in cold weather and causing variations in the contact resistance of the electrical connector arrangement.
