Dodge Repair: oops - 2003 Dodge Stratus RXT - glove compartment light switch and 2 others, hex nuts, dodge stratus


Question
Kevin - I meant on the steering wheel that I don't want to find out the Air Bag (not ABS - same initials though!) is goofed up.

If I can take that off myself (steering wheel cover) to just look - how do I do that?

Thanks.

Answer
REMOVAL
The horn switch is integral to the driver airbag trim cover. If the horn switch is faulty or the driver airbag cover is scratched or distorted, the driver airbag trim cover and horn switch unit must be replaced.

Disconnect and isolate the battery negative remote cable.
Wait two minutes for the system reserve capacitor to discharge before servicing any airbag components.
Remove the driver airbag. Refer to Electrical, Restraints, Driver Airbag, Removal.
Disconnect the horn switch ground wire (black) connector from the airbag mounting plate tab.
Disconnect the horn switch feed wire (red) connector from the airbag mounting plate tab.
Remove the four hex nuts that secure the airbag mounting plate to the airbag.
Remove the airbag mounting plate form the airbag.
Remove the airbag trim cover from the airbag inflator adaptor by rotating the trim cover mounting flaps off of the mounting studs and disengaging the three tab and slot details.
NOTE: The folded cushion will remain intact by the bag wrap. Do not remove the bag wrap when servicing the airbag trim cover.
