I have replaced a deployed 1993 Dodge Spirit airbag with an airbag pulled at a wrecking yard from the same year/model Spirit.

The deployment no doubt prevented my son's injury in the t-bone accident he couldn't avoid when the other car pulled out in front of him, and I surely don't want to risk an inoperable airbag.

Upon ignition turnon, the 'air bag' dash light initially illuminates, runs the system check, and then turns off.

This tells me the replacement air bag is good to go, but perhaps there is more to this than I know.

Should I shell out the shop time to a Dodge dealer for them to run a system check, or save the money for gas?

thanks,

Larry

Larry,

Please tell me you disconnected the battery prior to installing the bag Eeker LOL

When the vehicle is started, the airbag light on the dash should either "flash" or stay illuminated for seven seconds, the system is doing a self diagnosis, if after the seven seconds the light goes out, the system is okie dokie!
