How to Safely Replace a Faulty Passenger Air Bag on 2005 Dodge Sprinter 2500?

Question

Accepted Answer

To begin, unhook and isolate the battery negative cable before waiting at least two minutes for the system capacitor to exhaust its built-up energy. Start by uncovering the panel top tray, then remove the two holds the upper part of the passenger air bag door uses on the trim and finally undo the three holds securing the passenger air bag housing to the bracket on the instrument panel support. Gently slide the air bag unit backward so the air bag door disengages from the clips and do not touch any wires when you take the wire harness connector off the inflator connector receptacle. Take off the passenger air bag and air bag door together. When putting in the parts, carefully connect the passenger air bag unit and air bag door to the car and then press straight to connect the vehicle wire harness. Pull the air bag forward and press it down until the lower edge of the door fits into the lower clips. Tighten the screws that hold the flange of the passenger air bag housing to the bracket to 10 Nm (89 in. lbs.) and those that hold the passenger air bag door upper clips to 2 Nm (18 in. lbs.). At the end, put on the panel top cover tray, but do not link the battery negative cable until after the supplemental restraint system test has been completed after any repairs to these parts.
