Do not assume an airbag warning light means the airbag is disabled. Have the system checked: inspect airbag fuses and wiring to the front sensors and airbag, and ask a Chrysler dealer whether a clockspring recall applies. Before any airbag service, disconnect the battery positive cable and wait several minutes to reduce the chance of accidental deployment.
A user asked whether a mid-1990s Chrysler sedan airbag could deploy after the warning light had been on for months, and whether the light means the airbag will not work. Experts said deployment is possible and the light indicates a fault but does not prove the bag is inoperable. They recommended checking fuses and related wiring, asking a dealer about a clockspring recall, and disconnecting the battery and waiting before service.
