I know my clock spring needs to be replaced so I order the part gavemu VIN to make sure I got the right part. Well when I go to put it in the out of the 3 adapters/wires only one is different the old part has a 4 prong on that 3 wire and my new part has only a 2 prong am I missing something or the parts place sent me the wrong part?

The book we use shows part number 934901U480CA for the replacement. Does that match the number you have? If not it's the wrong part. Look on the side of the part in the car, run that part number and see if they replaced it with a different one.

The image I posted would be the opposite side of the ones you have. That sticker is an inventory tag, the part number is on the plastic under your thumb in the first picture. The number I gave is the current replacement for that vehicle.

I looked at other service info and discovered a TSB for an airbag light that shows a different part number used for the clock spring in the repair 93490-1U325FFF. However that one looks to be the same as the earlier part. I think the 4 pin you are talking about is actually a different part, the steering angle sensor. It snaps onto the clock spring as shown. It should be removable to put on the replacement clock spring.
