The clock spring only passes power through the moving part of the steering wheel for the horn & cruise control buttons. (along with radio or any other buttons on the steering wheel if applicable, but our trucks just had the horn and cruise stuff)

If i am remembering correctly, the clock spring simply supplies a ground for the controls mounted to the steering wheel.
