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

  A: You should treat the air bag system carefully after a collision. Always keep the inflator on the back of a non-deployed module separate from any sources of electricity. Point the trim cover or air bag side of the module away from you when transporting it, to protect yourself if the module deploys. When you put the module on something, make certain the trim cover or air bag face is facing up to stop any movement when the unit happens to go off. Disarm the air bag before working on any part of the steering wheel, steering column or instrument panel to stop air bag deployment and likely injury. In cases where a vehicle has a deployed air bag, changing the air bag modules, the Clock Spring and the ON/OFF switch for the passenger air bag is compulsory, since they can't be reused. Besides the obvious replacements, vehicle components should be changed only if they have clearly been damaged.
