AIRBAG LIGHT STAYS ON

[@jamesmelton5921]

Thank you! I was putting in a stereo and did not disconnect my battery (bonehead move on my part). Anyhow, somehow, I blew out the light. Radio shack price as of Feb 2017 is $2.59 for the 272-1141 bulb. might want to add that you can check the light while it was still on the board to confirm (use the LED symbol). And, you do not need to desolder the four connectors (the board will slip out, at least on the one I had). Went ahead and bought a new switch at the stealership for about $48, disconnected battery for several hours, hooked up and it fixed my issue. Again, THANK YOU! I set up a youtube account specifically to comment on this excellent video.

Thank you so much for posting this. I replaced the bulb and no air bag light on the instrument panel!!

Same issue on my 2005 dodge ram 1500. Went to Napa auto parts got Napa miniature lamps part number BP17037-N cost $2.99 comes with 2 bulbs. Bulbs are 12 volt. 1.2 watt. .10 amp Fixed mine.... Biggest issue I had was unsoldering the 4 pins to get to the bulb....my advise make sure you have a good soldering iron and solder...( before you start). It's amazing to me they put this lamb in circuit the way they do ...cheap part like a bulb could cost you close to 40 bucks if you ordered the whole piece instead of replacing the bulb.

Thanks man I checked all wires to. Didn't think of bulb in switch but yes it was out. No radio shack near me so I just ordered off Amazon. Thanks

[@oscardavidguerrerom]

Thank you so much friend awesome info my Dodge Ram is fixed no more codes

[@tweker69]

Very helpful video. I've had to replace this ting twice already. But after watching this video I now have 2 extra parts after replacing e bulb. Thanks for the help. 2005 dodge ram 1500 2 door.

[@tonymendes6730]

Thank you!!! LED was blown, replaced the switch in 10 minutes and the air bag light went off. I'll replace the LED on the old switch and keep it as a spare.

[@joseaguinaga7670]

its not an LED, is a regular mini light bulb

[@robertruiz7663]

Where did you get that radio assembly in dash!! Looks clean

[@sunsaffron]

Thank you, I had a feeling this was what was going on with my Dodge. That is some silly wiring to have the freakin bulb trigger the check airbag light....

[@55ironrebel]

Radio Shack sells a 12 volt LED 25 ma because dodge nor any junk yards have the switch so will will have to fix your switch..Radio shack's part number is 272-1141 that will fix it make damn sure you unhook your battery for at least 30 minutes before doing this..Great video thank you fellow dodge ram owner...

[@kellygamble7454]

Parts 4 less you pull will have them

[@neptunepb2420]

Thanks !! I replaced the bulb and no more air bag light on my 02 Dakota 🎉

[@raymccoy8543]

I took my airbag switch out and sure enough the bulb was blown. I went into my toolbox and found a light up toggle switch removed that bulb took my switch apart and soldered the new bulb in and the airbag light is off now. Damn easy and very cheap fix.

[@rdg5099]

@5:31 no need to de solder those 4 pins! That little pcb( printed circut board) will slide out

[@KLINT071]

Thanks bunch . Picked up part on junkyard and replace it no more airbag light . Cost me five bucks .

[@ooyginjardl4037]

Thank you for this pearl of wisdom! I think you are saving a lot of people a lot of hair pulling. I’m going to do this for my 05 Ram 2500. I made the same mistake of not unhooking the battery while I was futzing with the radio. Who knew? But I have to wonder---suppose I simply bridged the two leads on the existing burned out bulb? That would complete the circuit, correct? I don’t particular care if the bulb lights up not, I just want the one on the dashboard to go out. Any comments?

[@ooyginjardl4037]

Just did this job and yes indeed, it does the job. I’ll never do ANYTHING on this Dodge Ram without disconnecting the battery first. Thanks for the knowledge.

[@robertpapp96]

Good to know, but my problem was only a bad connect. I changed the dash pad and I needed to remove the passenger side airbag and the cable was tight. BTW it before I have not switch but I had the connector.

[@shelbyflf]

Before replacing switch as you did,would it be best to pull out the air bag fuses and or disconnecting battery?Thx

[@STORMARAGING]

Thanks doing mine tomorrow...replace bulb...

[@susepsify]

Wo gibt es den schalter haben zwar den Stecker aber finde nicht den Schalter zum kaufen

[@jamesjones4055]

Sir, Where did you get a wiring diagram? Many Thanks, JMJ

[@mungiaeric]

Thanks I went to junk yard and paid 10 dollars. Took a chance but works and light gone.

[@MCP1BEME]

Where did you get the replacement bulb. You didn't have to solder out the 4 pins the whole board slides right out. I have a 2003 Dodge Dakota SXT same problem.

[@clackerhead1]

Radio Shack (or any electronics store) has them. If you aren't sure what bulb t use, show your old bulb to people at the counter and they can usually match up.

[@gardogg65]

you are my hero!

[@55ironrebel]

where did you hook the red lead to because it is a led diode + & -?

[@clackerhead1]

+rebel oneal : Most LEDs are polarized (means current flow in one direction). The longer wire on your new LED is positive. I tested the LED on a 9V battery to be sure it worked. If you look at the LED the pin nearest the FLAT edge should be the negative side. If you still aren't sure, take a shot and solder it in and test (50/50 shot). If you smoke the LED (more than likely, nothing will happen), buy a spare, reverse what you did the first time and you should be good to go. GOOD LUCK!

[@anthonymitchell7213]

Instead of unsoldering the 4 things just slide it up and out from the 3 side tabs.

[@armandhammer2235]

Thanks.

[@MCP1BEME]

Would you have to unhook the negative side of the battery before you start this fix?

[@clackerhead1]

It can't hurt. I don't think I did (probably should have for safety reasons)

[@lonniechiasson1747]

Ok I will try this for not airbag light, and clue why my seatbelt light won't go off ??

[@toobeeteebooparks8492]

What if you do not have the passenger air bag switch? Any clues?

[@emmanuelbirgen5055]

Did you get thee answer?

[@emmanuelbirgen5055]

Or solution

[@scampeezo]

I believe only two-door Rams have the air bag disable switch. Quad cabs do not since it is assumed that you will place a child passenger in the rear seat instead of disabling the passenger seat air bag.

[@paperburn]

fixed it

[@waynebrown2748]

Randy van warmer

[@henrythe83rd18]

Can you just bypass the stupid light and call it free fix? LOL

[@snakeeater555]

guys dont unsolder the four pongs for the connector just lift up on the connector it slides right out holy crap how stupid
