I know for a fact my 1990 did not have an airbag.. I live in Canada, not sure if that makes a difference, but maybe it was made up here.
There was no airbag in mine because in the centre of the steering wheel, they had that Chysler pentastar made of glass. here a pic of the pentastar.

So i could tell by looking at the steering wheel on any Chysler product at that time , if it had a Airbag.
Can you imagine if the airbag went off, wearing a Chysler pentastar on your forehead for the rest of your life..haha

I've seen the first generation air bags on higher end cars, had the pentastar plastic emblem, which was quickly removed when it blew off and cracked people in the head. and 1990 was when they did it. all searches I did only show airbag on 1990 dynasty's

I have been around cars along time, when i bought the mini van, i knew right away, before the light came on, that it had a airbg especially when u see on the passenger dash and steering wheel srs airbag.. thats a good sign it has one...lol

The Dynasty had none of this and like i said before, it had the plastic penastar on the steering wheel Chrysler would not put this in the centre of the steering wheel with an air bag in it.. thats just crazy.. do you think they need another law suit??

You can look up all the info you want, i had the car 16 years, i know what it had for options.. i bought it new new.. anyways i am out of here not replying again too this post.

My airbag light is on because of open circuit at the passenger side squib. When trying to narrow the problem down everything checks out. The light usually comes back on in a week. They suggested spending 1300$ to replace the passenger side airbag to see if that helps...I said no thanks.

As to "jepordizing" my passenger that is debatable. It's my wife's van so that's usually me in the passenger seat :-)
