The spiral cable has 5 full turns before the internal cable gets tight. You most likely broke the cable inside and need a new spiral cable. When you install it, turn it one direction until you feel very slight resistance. Don’t turn it any more that direction. Turn the opposite way 2-2.5 turns so that the spot with the connectors is at the 12:00 position. Then install the steering wheel.
If you reach the end of the cable limit or are close to it when you install the steering wheel, and then rotate the wheel further when making a turn, the cable breaks, and the VSC and steering indicator light comes on and stays on.
Hope this helps.

First, thank you for taking the time to help. The spiral cable came with a tab that needed to be broken off before the install of the steering wheel. I imagine that was what kept it in place. Otherwise, no, I did not wind it up. Here is what it looks like. notice the orange tab.
