That's commonly referred to as a "clock spring" Basically, its the contact for your air bag, your horn, and cruise control. Now that yours has been sprung, a new one is in order if you'd like the above items to function properly. They have to be wound a particular way to install, best done by a pro. Not available aftermarket either. You'll have to see your local Ford dealer and it'll be $94 plus tax of a new one.
