As some of you know I am doing a rebuilder
A 2002 Dodge Dakota Quad Cab 4x4.

I am just getting ready to finish the rebuild.

Do you have to replace the Clock Spring
when replacing the air bags?
The original bags did deploy in the wreck,
and now I have used original ones to go in.

Also,
What is involved withthe module?
Can the dealer reset the codes and the light will be out?
Or will a new module need to be installed?

Thanks in Advance

 

You can probably get away with using the old clockspring but I would put a new one in just to be safe.

The module shouldn't need to be replaced unless it was damaged in the wreck. Once all of the sensors and air bags are hooked up correctly the light should go off by itself. If it doesn't go out have the codes cleared. If there was still a problem the light would come back on immediatelyand then they can check the codes for what is wrong.

 

in an accident usually you replace the bags, control module and seat belts. im not sure about the dakotas but on other vehicles ive worked on the seat belts have what they call pre tensionsers, which is a small pyrotechnic charge that pulls the belt tight. ive yet to wreck my dakota or do collision work on them but im almost positive they have it. if they are not replaced it will throw a code.
