I made a boo boo

what all did you take apart? i habe had the passenger airbag, drivers air bag and dash light all disconnected and when i put back together never had a light come on. i changed the clock spring on my truck last year and my steering wheel locked on me so i turned on the ignition to turn my wheel at a better angle with the air bag disconnected. never had an issue. so many passenger airbags removed when doing sound system upgrades, all with never a light coming on. something has to be disconnected somewhere.

No. There is. I put it back. Plugged it in, and check engine light is on. Is there a procedure I have to do to get the light to go off?

Check engine light or airbag light?

Either way, read the code. Clear if appropriate, and try again.

i doubt he has a scanner to clear airbags. i dont think forscan can clear them can they?

 

[ograptor]

Airbag light only. I do not have a scanner that clears airbag codes.

 

[EricM]

Forscan can access them. $35 ELM adpater and a laptop is all you need.

Ok. I think I figured it out. Today when I went to do a donut or 2 in the freak snow, I couldn't turn the traction control off. Then I tried the hazards and nothing. I must have missed that connection, because the passenger airbag light is wired in with those buttons

dúmbass.......


did you find it or just guessing still?

 

[ograptor]

I haven't taken it back apart yet, but im pretty sure this is the problem. I can not disable the traction control nor can I turn on my hazard lights. So yes, I am a dùmbass.

what year is your truck?

nevermind. i saw another one of your posts stating you have a 5.4 so you have a 2010. im pretty sure i know what plug you forgot....dúmbass..... you might be able to access it without taking everything apart, however you have to be careful to not scratch your dash. but it also only take about 10minutes to remove everything to access it as well.
