Ram 1500 parts and reset

Ram 1500 airbags, seat belts, and mirror assemblies

Ram sold two different 1500s alongside each other after 2019, the new DT body and the older DS body badged Classic, so parts do not cross between them and every listing names the years and the cab. In stock now are 1500 mirror assemblies in black texture, diamond black, and dark garnet red; for an airbag, a belt, or a module, use request a part or call 501-988-0611. We also reset the 1500 ORC you already have, clear the locked crash data, and rebuild the belts that fired.

ORC (Occupant Restraint Controller)

What the ORC does on your Ram 1500

Ram runs the Mopar airbag computer it shares with Dodge, Chrysler, and Jeep, the ORC, or Occupant Restraint Controller. On the Ram 1500 the ORC tests each airbag squib circuit at every startup, fires the airbags and seat belt pretensioners in a crash, and writes a permanent deployment record into memory. That stored crash event is what holds your airbag module reset hostage and keeps the airbag light on after a collision.

The data lives inside the ORC, so a generic OBD2 scanner cannot erase it. Clear a Ram 1500 hard code with a code reader and it returns the moment you key the ignition. We reset your original Ram 1500 ORC in our shop, wipe the stored crash data and hard codes, and send it back reading factory-ready. It plugs straight back in. For a work truck that needs to stay on the job, resetting your own module beats waiting on a dealer to program a new one.

Where it lives

Where the Ram 1500 ORC is located

On the Ram 1500 the ORC mounts to the floor pan on the transmission tunnel, below the instrument panel center stack, behind the gear selector and under the center floor console. It is held by three nuts on three studs of a stamped steel bracket welded to the top of the tunnel. That floor-tunnel three-nut mount is the Mopar signature, the same way Dodge, Chrysler, and Jeep do it.

On crew-cab and quad-cab trucks you pull the center console or the center jump-seat trim to reach it. Disconnect and isolate the negative battery cable and wait about two minutes for the system to discharge before touching the restraint wiring. Then back off the three nuts, lift the ORC off the studs, and release the connector.

Every Ram 1500 from the Dodge years forward

The ORC has carried the half-ton restraint system from the late Dodge Ram trucks, through the split into the standalone Ram brand, into the current DT platform. We reset the module and rebuild the belts on all of them, including the Classic that ran alongside the new body.

What we do for your Ram 1500

Reset the module, rebuild the belts

We reset your original Ram 1500 ORC and clear the stored crash data so the airbag light goes out and stays out. We also rebuild the seat belts, single, dual, and triple-stage pretensioners on the Ram 1500 returned to factory operation, locked retractors freed, and worn webbing addressed. The belt side of the job is on our seat belt repair page.

We will always be straight with you: a module reset clears the stored crash codes, it does not repair physical damage. Your Ram 1500 has to be mechanically fixed and the airbags and belt hardware properly replaced before the restored module goes back in. We handle the electronics. You make sure the truck is safe.
