AirBag Light is always On, on my '02 Chrysler Voyager?

Question 1
AirBag Light is always On, on my '02 Chrysler Voyager?...  It has a 3.3L engine and 145,000 miles on it. Can it be fixed without taking it to a Dealership?

Answers
1)   No. There is a part under the air bag which needs to be replaced. - Brad and Debb

2)   It could mean there is a defect with the airbag and it could fire off without warning!

Get to the dealer ASAP! - roadrunner426440

3)   In reality a lot of shops have the equipment to work on airbags, take it to your friendly independent guy and he can fix it.
The light being on means there is a problem and it is turned off, it has a failsafe to not go off at all if the lght is on and there is a problem.
on an '02 it is probably a bad connection at a sensor. real cheap easy fix. - Uncle Red

4)   Does the cruise control and horn work? If not, you need a clockspring under the steering wheel. - Two Lane Blacktop

5)   We had a lot of problems with clock springs back then. It is located under the steering wheel. But a lot of other things can turn the light on as well. Check all the fuses first. I believe there are about 3 or 4 fuses that keep the system operational. If any one blows, then the light will come on. The engine size doesn't matter. The problem with diagnosing the problem is you have to see what the generated code is and there are something like 50 to 60 different codes that can be generated because of a multitude of things that can happen to the system. Even removing the warning icon bulb will generate a code. Most parts stores will check out the fault codes for free. If it is the clock spring (so called because it resembles a clock spring in it's function) you may want to call the Chrysler/Dodge dealer to see is yours has a lifetime warranty as some back then had. Also be aware that the air bag can not, I repeat, CAN NOT deploy as long as the air bag light is on because the light is telling you that the air bag function has been defeated and is non functional any more as long as the light is on. - Jackolantern

Question 3
Check Engine Light is always On, on my '02 Chrysler Voyager.?...  It has a 3.3L engine and has 145000 miles on it. It runs good.

Answers
1)   and it will stay on until you have it checked and they reset the computer - rkbtoo

2)   take it up to an autozone. They will hook it up to a diagnostic computer and tell you whats wrong for free. Some places charge as much as $50 just to hook it up to the computer to tell you why the light is on. It could be something as stupid as how many times your gas cap clicks after filling it up. It happened to my sister a couple of years ago when she had a 2002 sebring. She had to click it i think 3-4 times otherwise that would happen to her. - Matt S

3)   Matt S is right! One of the most common reasons for the engine lamp to come on is the fuel's evaporator system such as a bad gas cap. Also, the system was prone to vacuum hoses that crack where they hook onto metal tubing. Especially going around the passengers strut tower under the hood. Most parts stores can check for codes and if it is the evap. system, they usually have a fuel cap tester on hand to check the cap. Otherwise, you will just have to look for a split hose or take it in to a dealer. - Jackolantern

Question 4
baracuda Longitudinal Stripe "please help"?...  i'm restoring my 1971 Baracuda and it originally had a Longitudinal stripe and i can't find it anywhere. if you know of a website that carries this stripe please help

thanks.

Answers
1)   Year One. I assume you mean the Billboard stripe. Year One has them for the 340, 383, 440, and HEMI logo. About $230.

On the left-hand side of the page find Catalog Links then click Mopar A/B/E bodies. Then click Stripes and Decals - Mad Jack

2)   Yeah, check Year One and even Phoenix Graphics. - done wrenching

3)   I don't remember the Barracuda ever having a longitudinal stripe other than maybe a double pinstripe, but anyway try http://phoenixgraphix.com/, they may have it.

The '70 Challenger R/T had a longitudinal stripe if it was so ordered. - Don't know everything !

Question 5
Lost my '01 PT Cruiser Key?...  The key was my one and only. I called the dealer a few minutes ago and they told me a new key would be 56 dollars, and 40 dollars for something else I can't recall (maybe labor). My question is, is there any other fees that would come up when I actually get there?

I called Ace to see if they program keys, and they told me that if I have no chip, I would have to go to the dealer to get my ignition removed, which would cost 400 dollars (or more). Would this be the case?

I'd appreciate any responses.

Answers
1)   Yeah towing it there to have it programmed. if it has a grey plastic head it's a transponder key if it is a black plastic head its not a programmable key. If it's a transponder i would call a locksmith just because they are mobile and will do it at the cars location saving you the towing fee. Don't listen to people who get on here and tell you the dealership is the only place that can make your key that is complete BS. The truth is a phone call away. - matt p

2)   Your security has to be programmed (I suggest getting 2 this time). There are some locksmiths with the right equipment to cut and progam these keys and they come to you. Call around. - C-Tech
