Turned the steering wheel without the steering column installed HELP! To make a long story short I forgot I removed the steering column and I turned the steering wheel about 2 revolutions before realizing. The airbag did not go off because I'm assuming that the battery was disconnected and still is... My questions is what can I do to make sure that my steering is aligned properly and the airbag doesn't go off when I connect the battery. Please help!

The air bag shouldn't deploy but I bet you damaged the air bag coil in the column and the air bag light will be on. If you know how many times you turned it you can try and turn it back and see what happens.

Not that hard to change. You need to remove the steering wheel and it's right there just have to unplug and pull the wire through the column. Not sure on the price. If the coil is damaged/broken then the air bag will not work.
