Air Bag Light??

ForcedInductionPhool · 07-27-2009, 09:16 AM

The car is a 2004 STI, I did not drive my car for a day and it just sat in a rainstorm all day. I got into my car to go to work today and noticed that the Air Bag light stayed on. I did a search on here to see what it could be but the only thing I would keep comming accross is a 3.3ohm resistor fix which I believe is for a 05+ with seat sensors. So my question is what are the more probable causes for this to stay on. Will a auto parts store scanner be able to pick up a code for it? Also as a side note my horn works perfectly and the CEL is not on (cruise is not flashing).

Thanks for any input.

Mine does this. Check the connector under the driver seat. Sometimes they get a little loose, sometimes they corrode. Clean the connector and put it back. Mine will be on sometimes, off other times.

Ok thanks I will check that out. Hopefully its just a loose connection. Anybody else have any suggestions?

Thanks,

Well I went out and wiggled my yellow air bag wires under the seat and the next startup the Airbag light went off

. I guess it was when I put the rear floor matt's in it must have worked them loose. Do you guy's suggest dielectric grease in the connection?

Thanks a bunch...
