nick916 Posted June 4, 2014 Share Posted June 4, 2014 I recently took out the shifter surround plate to try and fix a rattle. I've done this multiple times but for some reason this time after I popped it back the airbag light in the gauge cluster came on. My mechanic's OBD scanner showed it was something wrong with the passenger airbag indicator which currently shows nothing under the "passenger airbag" light. Initially after jiggling some wires the off sign would flicker but now it wont appear and the OBD scanner couldn't clear the code from the gauge cluster. Short of buying new wiring and spending a lot of money, is there a simple fix or a wire I should look at in particular? I can't seem to find any diagrams that match the color wires to which indicator they illuminate. I'm thinking of the wires isn't making a metal on metal connection but I don't know which corresponds to the on/off indicator. My car has signiciant audio/dash modification from a previous owner--double din above with clock/mpg gauge in place of ash tray http://i929.photobucket.com/albums/ad140/nickat916/Mobile%20Uploads/F5A837F2-D444-43C1-A919-97CA1F9D3EF5_zps1ldkvslx.jpg http://i929.photobucket.com/albums/ad140/nickat916/Mobile%20Uploads/1B39FD7D-E1BC-42AD-9AB8-37CEB617A94D_zpshnruatsz.jpg http://i929.photobucket.com/albums/ad140/nickat916/Mobile%20Uploads/F28D7614-D5A0-454A-BC0B-8EE6235573A6_zpssgtwjlv7.jpg http://i929.photobucket.com/albums/ad140/nickat916/Mobile%20Uploads/C50FB5C3-D7CC-4D39-A4BB-EC3439F2FC68_zpsy0u52q16.jpg http://i929.photobucket.com/albums/ad140/nickat916/Mobile%20Uploads/AC1B7DD3-F75F-4593-9475-6856328AC2D5_zpslekwc8ya.jpg Pic to show my dash setup: http://i929.photobucket.com/albums/ad140/nickat916/image-16_zps46cbefb4.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Flinkly Posted June 24, 2014 Share Posted June 24, 2014 I've had airbag issues which I still haven't fixed, and from what I've read around, it's common for some resistors in the ceiling to cause passenger airbag issues. i'll go find the thread i'm thinking of in a sec, but my passenger airbag display is in the ceiling next to my map lights and sunroof controls, and the resistors I should replace are up there. seeing that your passenger airbag light is with your clock, it might be on that PCB that you need to look. if it's this, a wiring replace would have been worthless. * Build Thread * 26.53 MPG - 12 month Average * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ssbtech Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 My money is on a bad crimp on the wires that were cut and extended. for the clock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flinkly Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 ha. after actually reading that last line in the first post, and seeing the blue crimps in the picture, I bet it's there too. i'd remove the crimps and make solder connections with heatshrink over them. crimp connections are the devil. * Build Thread * 26.53 MPG - 12 month Average * Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssbtech Posted June 25, 2014 Share Posted June 25, 2014 ^Bad crimps are the devil. I have the same ones and they've held up fine for the last 6 years Solder is great, but it's a pain soldering in the dash. If you have a good butane iron then it's a little easier.

nick916 Posted June 25, 2014 Author Share Posted June 25, 2014 I took it all apart ans tried to re-align the wires and it wouldn't work. Went to best buy and the car audio guy was able to work some magic and pop it back in correctly now it works fine and the light went away haha. Weird cause one of the sockets in the harness is not used... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ssbtech Posted June 26, 2014 Share Posted June 26, 2014 It's a 9 pin interface but they used a 10 pin connector. Pretty normal. My money is still on one of the blue butt-splice connectors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
