zolkat, there is no knee air bag.

Thank you Bumble-Z and 8Vette 7 for your quick response. I took it apart replaced the switch and my old one was burned up pretty bad at 60K i guess this will be a 30K tune up.. Took less than 1 hr to do from start to finish... P.S. i cant believe that is not a air bag lol ....
Thanks for the quick reply...
