Like B0006, this number is absent from the public J2012 lists. FCA uses B0007-11 on the 2025 Ram 1500 for the latch control of the right RamBox stowage lid, again a short to ground in the body control module and cured by the same flash 08-204-24; an airbag meaning is not documented anywhere. The title names a driver airbag loop shorted to battery voltage. Restraint modules treat that as a fault type of the stage code: GM sets B0012 01 or B0013 01 on the Saab 9-4X when the steering wheel airbag loop sits at supply voltage for two seconds. A short to positive is the more dangerous case because a further fault could energise the squib, so modules usually disable the affected stage and light the lamp. Confirm the storing module before any repair.

Likely causes

On Ram 1500 2025 the code belongs to the right stowage lid latch circuit of the body module
Squib lead touching a powered wire in the column or steering wheel harness
Moisture bridging pins in a connector of the airbag circuit

Symptoms

  • Airbag warning lamp on, affected stage disabled by the module
  • On Ram 1500 2025 right stowage lid inoperative
  • Safety note: do not probe the airbag circuit yourself; unplug airbag connectors only with the battery disconnected and the stated wait time observed
