How do you remove the passenger airbag on a 2003 dodge stratus?

1. Disconnect the battery. This is the most important step, as it will prevent the airbag from deploying accidentally while you are working on it. To disconnect the battery, open the hood of your car and locate the battery. It is usually located in the engine compartment near the front of the car. Use a wrench to loosen the negative terminal (the one marked with a minus sign) of the battery. Be careful not to touch the positive terminal (the one marked with a plus sign), as this could cause a spark and ignite the hydrogen gas that is produced by the battery.

2. Remove the airbag cover. The airbag cover is located on the passenger side of the dashboard. It is usually held in place by a few screws or bolts. Use a screwdriver or wrench to remove the screws or bolts and then remove the cover.

3. Disconnect the airbag module. The airbag module is located behind the airbag cover. It is connected to the airbag by a wire harness. Disconnect the wire harness by pressing the release button on the connector.

4. Remove the airbag module. Once the wire harness is disconnected, you can remove the airbag module from the car. Be careful not to drop the airbag module, as it could be damaged.

5. Reconnect the battery. Once the airbag module is removed, you can reconnect the battery. To do this, simply connect the negative terminal (the one marked with a minus sign) to the battery first. Then, connect the positive terminal (the one marked with a plus sign).

6. Test the airbag system. Once the battery is reconnected, you can test the airbag system by pressing the airbag test button. The airbag test button is usually located on the dashboard. When you press the button, the airbag warning light should come on and the airbag should inflate. If the airbag does not inflate, there may be a problem with the airbag system. You should have the system inspected by a qualified technician.
