• Q: What Steps Should Be Taken with an Air Bag System Post-Collision on 2000 Dodge Dakota?

  A: You should treat the air bag system carefully after a collision. No electrical source should be close to the inflator located in the back of an air bag module that has not been used. Ensure the side of the air bag module facing your body is always the trim cover and the air bag part is kept away, so you're protected if the air bag deploys by accident. If you put the part somewhere, the trim cover or air bag side ought to face upward to limit how much the part can bounce around. air bag function must be switched off whenever working on the steering wheel, steering column or instrument panel to make sure the air bags do not deploy by accident. If a driver side or passenger side air bag system has poor quality, it must be sent back in accordance with the current Chrysler Corporation Warranty Policies and Procedures parts return list. If the air bag deploys in a vehicle, all air bag modules, the instrument panel assembly, steering column assembly and the Clock Spring must be replaced, because these parts can no longer work properly after deployment. All vehicle components aside from the tires should not be replaced unless evidently broken or showing obvious damage. Keep air bag modules in the special box they are provided in, in a clean place free from high heat, sparks and floods of electricity, making sure the air bag side is always facing upward.
