How to Safely Service the A/C Switch with the Airbag System Disabled on 2008 Dodge Dakota?

Before working on the A/C heater control, passengers in cars with air bags must disconnect the battery negative cable, wait two minutes for the air bag capacitor to discharge and then disable the air bag system. The first thing to do is remove the negative battery cable. After that, remove the center bezel from the instrument panel and release the wire harness connectors 3 and 4 from the A/C-heater control 1. Put the center bezel on a workbench and take out the 2 screws holding the A/C-heater control. When the screws are removed, lift out the control and put it to one side.
