As it seems the airbags before 2007 were made by TWF, if I'm ordering one between 2003 and 2006, I'll probably have to change the airbag module (called SRS?).
I can only say IF you unplug the airbag module anywhere in the system (like pizzaguy's post) I would again strongly suggest you FIRST disconnect the NEG cable at a minimum of 15 minutes before unplugging those circuits labeled with any warnings (I believe colored yellow). Once disconnected, I have never heard of an airbag module going off. I also would not have any airbag module sitting around although I have also never heard of an airbag going off in a lightning storm or sitting on a shelf). I also suggest you download the service manual and see where the steering wheel airbag connector(s) are with a mindset of checking at least three times in the manual before locating the connector and 'pulling the plug' (with NEG connector, well, you know). I do not know if the Module has to be replaced if an 04 to 06 crossfire steering wheel airbag is used, maybe someone else here in the forum knows that answer. Good luck with your endeavor!
