idosubaru Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 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, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoobdude Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 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. Joe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
svxpert Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
idosubaru Posted January 24, 2005 Author Share Posted January 24, 2005 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

idosubaru Posted January 24, 2005 Author Share Posted January 24, 2005 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.

avk Posted January 24, 2005 Share Posted January 24, 2005 The airbag indicator unit has its own connector on the back of the instrument cluster. It's a small white plug. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
