I am new at this, (woman too) so I didn't really understand what you did but will try...
All I did was push the wires into the connection…. Nothing was unplugged…. Once the light was off i secured wires with tape…Had to unbolt the seat and lean it back to reach the connectors…. The wires get pulled on from the rear floor mats being pushed under the seat over time…. Hope that makes sense.
It looks like the pins are loose, it would be better to unplug it and check to make sure the pins are tight and making a good contact. Also a zip tie would work better as with the tape the heat or cold can cause it to get loose
Those are great suggestions! Thank you. This is purely a temporary fix for someone that perhaps doesn’t have the skill to do it that way or the money to take it to a mechanic. The main thing is to get the light off so that the airbags are functional. I really do appreciate the suggestions and thank you so much for watching! 💯👊🏾
@@ogsuperflygaragewhat would be a temporary fix?
@@shlattwidow3109 I used electrical tape, but later I went back and used zip ties which will hold better over time. For me the light has not come back on... So it's more of a permanent fix. The hope is that if you do this...It will last and you won't have to spend a lot of money for someone else to fix it... True DIY.... Have a wonderful evening!
Hi OG, great video! I've had similar things happen on newer Grand Caravans (air bag code for passenger headrest restraint, just a loose connection!) Thanks for sharing!👍
Thanks for watching 306 Foxbody! 👊🏾 It’s amazing how much money we could save by just by DIY! 💯👊🏾
Came here from your short. Good video!!
Thank you!🙏🏾 I appreciate you watching and coming over to the channel! 💯👊🏾
Awesome intro 🤩 sweet little face opens up the vid as well 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻 great video
Thank you so much Sally! 🙏🏾😊👊🏾
Sweet! Thank you Easter Bunny! 🎉
😁😁
Thanks
There should be a disclaimer advising to proceed with your own caution because working with an airbag system could be dangerous. Also id advise to torque down the seat rail bolts to spec, as it can be a safety concern…
I appreciate your suggestions and concern. There was no danger ⚠️ involved here because the airbag was not disconnected. If I were going to unplug it then safety precautions would have been taken and advised! 💯Thank you for taking the time to watch. 👊🏾
Love the intro....great video OG 👊💯
Thank you Paul! I appreciate you Brother! 💯👊🏾
This is not a fix, cutting plug out completely , adding in joining wire and soldering and using heat shrink is best solution.
Hmmmm my airbag light is out and has not come back on! Must be a fix! Thanks for sharing your way of doing it! But this way works too!
Do I need to unplug the battery before checking the connections under the passenger sea?
Yes I would disconnect the battery.
What you do then its not a quaraty fore other sulotion of same troubleshot,
Not sure what you are getting at here... but this is the solution that worked for me. So I am sharing it to help others to likewise save money. Have good day!
What?? 🤦🏼♂️
@bwanasid 🤔
Makes sense. Have you thought of using zip ties, front to back? They will keep them tight with no problem and worries of tapes coming loose due to summer heat.
Let me know your thoughts.
That’s an excellent idea! Thank you! 💯👊🏾
@@ogsuperflygarage Dude, you rock! 😃
Thank you! 🙏🏾👊🏾
I would disconnect da battery first just to be on da safe side...
Most definitely!💯 It was disconnected. Just wasn’t filmed.
Hi. Do we really need to removed seat bolts? Is it possible to reach under and do this? If a person is small enough? So there is no need to disconnect battery? Thank you
I removed the seat for demonstration purposes. Yes if a person(s) hands are small enough it can be done without removing the seats. In my opinion…Disconnecting the battery Is always the best and safest option. Doesn’t take that long.
@@ogsuperflygarage ok thank you. Do you recommend unplugging and spraying something inside there, like wd40? And maybe using a ziptie?
@@c.518 I would not spray anything into the plug. I would push the wires in to ensure they connected then wrap in electrical tape just as I did... Then secure to the bottom of the seat with zip ties if you wish...Keep in mind that it could be the wires under either seat.. push the wires in place and then check to see if the airbag light goes off...etc.. If that doesn't work please take you vehicle to the dealership or ASE Certified mechanic...
Great video man! Is there a way of diagnosing if the airbag light is being caused by the seat before pulling the seats out / taping up the connections?
Thanks Bro! I honestly don’t know if there is a way to diagnose it before the seat out. I did a lot of research and found that the wires under one of the seats is usually the cause of the airbag light coming on about 90% of the time. Personally I would rather spend the time removing the seat than the money at a dealership or shop. Just my opinion.
I bought a fault code reader, it narrowed down the possibilities. Took it to a repair shop for new connectors but the warning light came back after a few months. Going to try zip ties next.
Storing the detachable tow bar under the driver's seat might have been the cause of the original issue, but doesn't explain why it came back with new connectors. I suspect the plugs are just a weak design.
So i watch a lot video with same solution like you doing that. But air bag light is still on. Some people say that maybe the clock spring should be replaced. But the horn it still working good. That why i don’t know how to fix that now pls help
Hey Brother I appreciate you! I am sorry, but honestly the best advice I could give you is to check the wiring under both the drivers seat and the passenger seat. If that doesn’t work I would take it to a mechanic because the issue goes beyond the scope of what I repaired. 👊🏾👊🏾
Excellent 👌👌🎉
Thank you! 🙏🏾👊🏾
Nice job! 👍
Thank you Rick! 🙏🏾 Thank you for watching my Brother! 💯👊🏾
@@ogsuperflygarage Thanks for sharing! Someone going to save a Diag fee of 100.00 minimum seeing this!
@@BigStickStangs Yes indeed! And Not to mention the repair cost! 💯👊🏾
Do you need to disconnect the battery before doing this?
Yes... You should disconnect the battery.
