    Find the damaged wires and splice them back together if you suspect they have anything to do with the air bag disconnect battery before working on them.
    Not sure what you mean by spring spiral wire.

    Repairing the wires is easy simply solder them back together and use some heat shrink tubing to wrap them up individually. I would suggest disconnecting your battery and only working on one wire at a time while being careful not to touch any of the other wires. After you repair the wires check every fuse under the hood and replace any that popped. Any basic systems should be just fine and reset but I would bet that you will have to go to the dealer to have the airbag system reset. A typical code reader will not read or reset airbags.

    Before you do anything more to it, like said previously, disconnect the battery. You'll have an even worse day if you accidentally deploy your air bags.

    Some flags and center console divider... lots of things on the wanted list.
    Just fix the wires first. If you have an issue still after you have properly repaired them, yes. Take it to a dealer.

    From my understanding the dealership is the only one that can reset the airbag system, don't tell them what you did just show up and say " hey man my airbag light was on when I got in my truck this morning "

    Ok inspected the wires today with my friend all connections are good. Rear view camera screen is working but the clock keeps resetting to 1:00 and the air bag and traction control lights are still
    Guess it's time to go to the dealership

    Did they also quote you to replace your steering wheel gasket as well?
