I recently replaced the steering box on my 06. That went well but while I had the steering shaft disconnected from the box I turned the wheel several rotations in both directions to make sure it felt smooth without the box attached. Now I have intermittent air bag light coming on. The rest of the controls on the wheel work (volume, tuning, cruise, etc). Is it possible I broke something in the clock spring that would only effect the air bag? I've driven the truck for almost two weeks and about a thousand miles and it just started today.
 
I have been told by the dealer that the clock spring is warranted for life on our trucks. Can't say it is Gospel but I was just told this by the service dept at Dodge. You might​ not want to tell them what you did by turning the steering wheel.

no life time on the clockspring-that was on caravans.I suspect the steering column was turned while the box was out
 
It was the clock spring. Replaced and all is good. I also lost the horn. A very easy fix, albeit $104. My mistake, my pay. Didn't even need a steering wheel puller.
