1997 truck steering column
 

There is a cast iron plate glued to a steel plate that is screwed to the steering column under the air bag. The glue failed and the plate was rattling around whenever sterring wheel was turned. I removed the plate, but does this plate serve any functional purpose? Also, I had to remove the air bag to get to the plate. When I re-installed the air bag, the air bag dash light stays lit. Is there a way to re-set this?
