good call on replacement for reasons of liability as well. also you should alert dodge and nhtsa to this as a design defect that can affect a critical safety system
I have the airbag light on in my Dodge caravan. I was so confused why it could have come on. I tilted my chair back up and the light now is off thank you
Thank you. I will be looking at this on mine which happened after i took a nap and reclined the seat. I have the plether seats, is it hard to get the rear of the seat off and leave it intact so i can put it back on?
Good idea to replace the whole harness. I noticed the green/white wire in the harness was also pinched. Lucky, only the purple one was cut, but not sure how long the other damaged wires might last.
2012, Passenger side lumbar open circuit. I just unplugged the yellow connector just under the back of the seat seems to have taken care of things. BYW, on the cut wire, I would have just soldered it back with some shrink wrap and then bind the harness so it can't get back in that pinch point.
We have a 13 grand caravan. My biggest issue with it is the 62te transmission. Did all the servicing required and it's having a pretty big issue. Random shifts, hard shifts and 2-400 RPM variation going at a steady speed. 151k miles. Rest of the van has held up well.
Did your tranny die yet? Ours went at 142k miles. 4 way stop and then 200 more feet, good thing it wasn't scooting across a road ahead of a semi. $4k to fix.
Hmmmm Very interesting. The "pinchedr wire" situation maybe why my driver seat only works part way. I can move the seat back portion to recline. But I'm not able to move the seat bottom controls forward. I will hafta take the seat apart to see how bad my wires are shorting out.
My 2012 ram 1500 has the same problem except it only happens when I bump the wiring harness underneath the drivers seat when I'm vacuuming underneath it. I just wiggle it until the airbag light goes off.

Thank you so much! This helped me. Mine is the right side. Temporary fixing it while we are on a trip by leaning the passenger seat back and forth
Need part number please. I have the same issue, but on passenger side. Great video!

This sounds exactly like what I have going on. Thanks for the great info!

What's the parts# for the harness
you are good mechanic - not only changer a parts
What I find really interesting is that they appear to have used a Cycloidal drive for the reclining gear mechanism.
i guess I'm kind of off topic but do anybody know a good website to stream newly released series online?
Hmmmm

What's the part number for the wiring harness?
What year its that. Mine is a 13. And the light comes on and off while driving

Part number?
If it were my own vehicle I would have repaired the wire and come up with my own engineered solution to avoid a recurrence.
Oh, and also checked every other seat to determine if this might happen elsewhere as well.
That's a poor design, but that's why they call the company Fix It Again Tony.
You’re a moron, Jose.
I SIMPLY SOLDERED THE BROKEN WIRE(S), RE-HARNESSED & ROUTED THAT PESKY HARNESS OUT OF HARM'S WAY...
What is the Dodge part number for the harness
