Sounds like you left something unplugged or damaged a wire/switch of some sort. What did the dealer do to try and correct the problem?

Wow, you finally said something smart.

He's absolutely right. You are a complete moron for removing your airbag-equipped steering wheel from a street vehicle. You should only do that on a track or show car that isn't driven on the streets. It's required by LAW to have an airbag and it's simply not safe without having a 5-pt harness and cage to replace the effectiveness of a simple airbag.

I'm surprised your dealer will even work on your car with the government-required safety system GONE.

The dealership would be liable if any of their work on the SRS system caused you injury or death, so I'm doubting they're going to actually fix anything for you.

I would actually be a little worried if they DID work on it to be honest. :P

To the original poster, please let us know what you plan to do on this. I don't think a single member on this forum is going to recommend keeping that aftermarket wheel. In fact, they should be banned if they do for trivializing your life.

That is, unless this is a REAL show or track car, which I seriously doubt.

Hmmm, from all the post dsandy has put up, he sounds like a bullshitter to me. This guy happens to tell lies even HE doesn't belive. Oh well, hopefully you get that "steering wheel" fixed.

OMG, I just read in your garage that you have a "Cherry Bomb" catback on your Galant. So you're one of those ricers that thinks it's cool to put JUST a glasspack on your 4 banger and call it a day? Do you have any idea how annoying that sound is? I've had two friends with glasspacked 4 bangers and my ears bled any time they accelerated within earshot.
