2000 Dodge 2500 Cummins... First I got an airbag light, then lI ost
cruise.  So I purchased a clockspring from NAPA ($43.00) and installed
it today.   Pretty straightforward installation following the TSB in
my previous post.  (BTW, in that post I asked how to remove the tilt
knob.  As Tom said it's threaded.  In fact there's enough of a squared
edge to slip a small box end in there for leverage).

After reconnecting everything, now I have cruise again, but airbag
light continues to illuminate.  Not much chance of something being
connected wrong, and I don't think anything is pinched.  I guess it
could be a bad clockspring.  But before I take it to have it scanned,
I see there are two airbag fuses in my fusebox.  The problem is they
have what appears to be a tamper-proof plastic cover.  No reference to
it in my FSM.  Anybody know how to pull these fuses to check them?

Thanks in advance.

It will probably take a few start and stop cycles for the light to go
out.

If the lite does not go out remove the air bag and check to see that you did
connect the connector(s) to the air bag. A very common mistake.

Thanks, Glenn and Bob.  I unzipped everything again and checked all
the connections.  I even had to pry the airbag connector with a trim
tool to get it off so I know it was on good.  Nevertheless I undid and
redid all connections and zipped it back up.  Voila... no airbag light
now for whatever reason.  I'm guessing because I do a lot of salt
water surf fishing I had some corrosion in the connections that needed
a little back and forth to make better contact.  Thanks for the
encouragement... you saved me some wasted money for a scan and maybe
another clockspring replacement.
