Reading up on the problem with the airbag light coming on or flickers. Seems like this is a "common" problem with Jeep Cherokees. What's the history on this issue and what are common fixes for it?

 

Most common cause seems to be the connector behind the cluster either works loose some or the contacts themselves become dirty. Most have the best success pulling the cluster, cleaning the contacts, and reseating everything.

I have also heard of a kit designed to replace the contacts, but disassembly and cleaning seem to be the easiest approach.

 

Just to chime in, you want to have caution when doing this, I've heard somewhere on here that you can set off the air back when doing this.. Just an FYI...

 

yes disconnected the battery before you do this!!.....Also if in goes on and off it is probably the clock spring inside the steering column...I am about to replace mine.
