 | if paid for, it is hard to sell something so quick for a replacement with a note. i believe that you can remove a few items and wiggle your way in there to replace it with very few problems. never done one in a dakota but cant be that hard. |

| Air bag systems have a "charge" if you will that allow them to deploy even after battery is disconnected. It is a fail safe. If you disconnect the battery wait a good ten to twelve minutes I think before you fiddle with it. That is why we suggested to disarm the air bag.

| The easiest and safest way to ensure you have it disarmed is to follow the exact procedure in the service manual. I don't have mine handy, but if I remember I'll dig it out later and post the info.
