Umm.. or you adjusted that red lever at the base of the steering column and didn't get it locked back in.. telescopic steering.. happened to me.. LOL

If it's the passenger air bag it's possible it was turned off. The lock is on the right side of the dash when you open the door. Use the key to turn it back on.

thanks mrmiata...and anyone who no longer needs to answer...a little WD40 and the Fonzi bump did the trick on the steering wheel extender lock..

So was it the airbag light or the steering wheel light? I "fixed" my airbag light with a sharpie...:(

If you do change it, the thing is located underneath the center of the dash on the floor. Its in held in with 3 screws. Once I swapped mine out with the ebay one light went out. I think the just go bad and have to be replaced sometimes. |

I fixed my airbag light by buying another airbag sensor module. Mine had went bad, the shop I use did the diagnostic for free. The module itself cost like $1200, on ebay its like $70.

Do you have a part number or contact on ebay from whom you purchased it?

Re: air bag inop light
That is a first for me. When my body shop failed to unhook the battery cable and unhooked my passenger door airbag, it threw the code and the light came on. When the light is on, all your air bag system is shut down. You have none. Only the dealership could clear the code with the star das system. When working around the bags, steering wheel or doors, unhook your positive battery cable. I am sure there are other things that could throw the code, but I was under the impression nothing will clear the code without hooking it up to the computer.

Re: air bag inop light
I guess I'll call North Star Chrysler, see how much they charge to hook up to their star das system...or maybe I should go to a Mercedes dealer since it's their system...

Re: air bag inop light
My dealer will not just reset. They will diagnose and fix it. Diagnose $65.00 plus what ever It costs to fix it. Any other options? I like the Sharpie idea.
