| Airbag circuit recall done but airbag fuse fails continually again. i had the airbag circuit recall work performed by weisner dodge in tomball, tx over a year ago. although the fuse had failed repeatedly, the dealership only installed a patch to protect a wire. on 1/14/02, the airbag warning light came on when i used the rear windshield washer. i replaced the blown 20a fuse, but every fuse blows as soon as i turn the ignition on. i am contacting the local dodge dealership in huntsville, tx to make the repair. | |||
