Not being rude but most guys wont bother to read and answer if they cant read and understand what you are trying to say. Just a bit of friendly advice.

On my 02. Anything air bag has a neon yellow plug. So you just have the truck side of the wiring hanging out? When i had my bag out i think there was only one plug. Is the bag plug ok?

Well, i think there are two ways to do it. The colors have to be different though. All wires are specifically color coded for wiring simplification.

One way is to download the service manuals in my signature links and find the wiring diagram and use it to wire everything back together.

The other way is to maybe buy a new airbag with the connector on it OR go HERE to get wiring connectors from Chrysler

I would not fool around with the SRS wiring. You should only replace it.

You are also opening your self to liability if anything goes wrong with the SRS system if you attempt to repair the wiring.

CAUTION: Not all connectors are serviced. Some connectors are serviced only with a harness. A typical example might be the Supplemental Restraint System connectors.


The SRS connectors are special as they have shorting bars in the connector. The Igniter harness should be available from Dodge as it ofter gets burnt during a Air Bag deployment. The dash side of the harness you might be better to get a complete one from the wrecker's.

And never ever use a DVOM on the Air Bag wiring as the 9 volt battery in the meter is enough to ignite the Air Bag.

I might be able to get the dash plug for you if you really need. I had a junk one that I traded for parts and he said if i ever needed a part let him know.

It should run from the passenger side of the dash to the Air Bag module thats bolted to the trans tunnel under the cup holder.

Ill see if i can look it up.

Cant seem to find anything on a 2002 call the dealer and see what they say. Or you can go to the wreckers and pull the harness yourself.

Edit #2

Looks like the 23 pin connector on the Air Bag Control Module is the compleat harness and that conector also has the shorting bars on Pin 7 & 8 (Pass Air Bag). That harness is most likely the compleat dash harness.

Edit #3

As a last resort option (and I'm not recommending you do this) is to go to the wreckers and take the 23 pin connector off the air bag module and cut all the wires (as long as you can) except Pins 7 & 8, as they run to the pass side air bag. Take it home and practice removing / inserting the cut wires from the 23 pin connector until you can do it without damage then do pin 7 & 8 and install it in your truck.
