In my 2000 Ram 1500 there is a module located on the trans tunnel directly beneath the dash. It has a plastic housing over it. Can anyone tell me what this is for? It has a large electrical connection. I'm sure I'll feel real foolish after I find out what it is, but I've looked through the service manual and cannot find an illustration with this part included.

 

Airbag Control Module.

 

Thanks for the quick reply!

 

Don;t mess with it unless battey is discinnected just to be safe.

 

Wait at least five minutes after disconnecting the battery to even touch it. It holds energy for a bit, as that is what it is designed to do.
