anyway to get the air bag light to turn off besides fixing it? i need the light out now, will fix the air bag later. drivers side is fixed, awaiting manuals and parts to fix the passengers side. until then, i'd like the light off to pass inspection. don't even know that they care, but would rather it be off just in case.

 

anyone ever posted how to replace passengers side air bag?

 

thanks hot dogs,

Pull the bulb? may want to post more info on the car so we can try to give more details. But the light should not be that hard either way.

NJ has the most strict inspection in the country (other than Ca). airbag lite on won't fail inspection here. put a piece of tape over it if your worried it will fail.

good point - 1997 OBS and i'm in maryland. light bulb is not easily accessible. the wiring is, anyone know which wire supplies power? i think they'll see black tape, so that probably won't cut it. i'll just have it inspected and worry about it if they fail it. they'll want to fail something to feel like they're actually being productive and make me feel like i'm getting something for my money so maybe that will give them something to write up. i tend to think it won't fail for that, but figured i'd address it if there was an easy way.

 

thanks

When you start the car, the airbag light goes on for a few seconds, then turns off. There is a good reason for this.

If you get an inspector with the IQ of a grape, you should pass.

If you don't, you won't

They look for this.

air bag light goes on and stays on, it never turns off.

since many cars don't have air bags and some people disconnect them for small children or even very small people i'm hoping they don't check that. guy i use seems reasonable enough.

The airbag indicator unit has its own connector on the back of the instrument cluster. It's a small white plug.

AH HAH!!!! that's what i'm looking for.
