  Q: How to Safely Remove and Install a Steering Wheel with an Airbag System on Chrysler Prowler?

  A:

  Start by setting the vehicle's front wheels straight ahead and then pull out the ground cable from the negative battery post. Make sure to wait 2 minutes so that the capacitor of the Air Bag system can de-energize. Be sure there are no electrical devices close to the inflator, keep the module's trim cover turned away from your body and set the module so it stays where you put it, with its plastic cover facing up. Remove the bolts in the air bag module's spokes and take out the air bag module. After that, pull the air bag wire connector and the horn wire lead loose from the Clock Spring as well. Following that, take the Clock Spring wiring harness from the steering wheel switches and remove the nut on the steering wheel. Get a steering wheel puller and insert the bolts fully into the steering wheel, then gently remove the wheel so as not to use heat or force. During installation, place the Clock Spring so the front wheels are straight and disengage the locking mechanism, then rotate the rotor clockwise to its end point and back counterclockwise approximately 2.5 times. Insert the wires from the steering wheel spokes over the Clock Spring and down through the hole intended for the horn switch. Place the steering wheel on the shaft, so it is flat and push it down, securing it with the retaining nut screwed up to 61 Nm (45 ft. lbs.). Link the Clock Spring wires with the air bag module and horn switch by using the proper bolts or clamps. Tighten the bolts that secure the air bag module with an effect of 10 Nm (90 in. lbs.). To put the battery back on, remove the in-car electronic module if necessary, attach a DRB scanner to the data link connector, place the ignition in ON and be certain there are no people inside the vehicle when plugging in the negative cable. Check for codes in the computer's memories, erase the memory if no active codes are present and record any found active codes. The air bag lamp is supposed to remain on for six or eight seconds and then go out. Whether or not every steering column function is tested, test the horn and lights, flip through the radio and clock, wet-start if needed and take a road test to check how the steering and speed control systems work.
