    97 GTP - Anyone know where the wiring harness runs in the engine bay for the air bag system and where the sensor(s) is? I had to lower my engine cradle to remove a broken bolt in the block and after getting it back together, the air bag light in the dash comes on and won't go off. Thanks

    So, I probably did a dumb thing that messed this up. When I lifted my engine cradle back up initially, the rack and pinion didn't interlock with the steering column, so when I turned the wheel it spun around and around. This would have messed up the air bag components in the column wouldn't it?

    Yes, It will take out the clockspring.

    I have never had to replace one yet. Its in the steering column behind the steering wheel I think. I would look at a service manul before doing it.
    If I had to guess I would say:
    Disconnect battery, remove airbag, remove steering wheel. replace clockspring, and put back together.

    Its not bad. Disconnect battery. Remove air bag, then steering wheel. There is a snap ring holding the coil to the column. Make sure wheels are straight as new coil wheel be indexed to the straight ahead position (its indexed to only really fit one way).Make sure the wave washer stays on the column behind the coil when you go back together.

    Do you have radio controls in the steering wheel? Do they still work? If radio controls work it may be front chrash sensor mounted on the front bumper that you should check.
