Thread: Airbag MIL

Anybody know why the airbag indication would come on the dash and stay on? its done this plenty of times in the past and usually stays on for a good minute(like weeks) when it does than it'll go off. Currently its been on for like 3days and I just don't know why it does this. Maybe a wire is loose or shortened, but im just confused on how it comes and goes. LOL, last similar issue I had like this was the coolant MIL and I just unplugged that for good bc I just got tired of it. LOL, I cant unplugged the airbag bc that's just one thing I may need one day.

Any help would be great....

could be the airbag module under the pass seat, they tend to corrode up and fail to ground.

Dee..

With the ignition off, move the button on the side of your driverside seat so that the rear of the seat bottom lifts up all the way.
Open driverside rear door
Kneel down and locate the yellow connector under the driverseat
Remove the blue safety pin that ensures the connector can not come apart accidentally
Disconnect that yellow connector
Connect that yellow connector
Repeat 4 more times for 5 disconnects and 5 connects
Put blue thing back in place
Stand up
Close passenger rear door
Fix your drivers seat back to it's normal position

Repeat this procedure once a summer, because for some reason...it only seems to happen once a summer if you follow the above.



Yup.. just fixed mine this morning!

PS..

00+ have an airbag on the side of the drivers seat

WoW, just read this....been away for a lil bit, I'll do this A.S.A.P

Yeah Bill, meant to tell you that the air bag connector trick worked perfectly.

Yeah Dee... I kinda knew it would (work for me).

Glad it worked for you too.

Next year, you'll know exactly what to do. hahahahaha I honestly get this happening once a year and always mid summer.
