Default AIR BAG

Ok yesterday I started my jeep after work and the air bag light on my dash lit up and wouldn't go off. I figured glitch and it would not be on in the morning when I left for work. Wrong its still on! What should I look at to repair/ replace on this? Its a 02 4.0 Grand Cherokee Laredo

You need to find out what the code is and start from there. You may also want to check the fuses first.

I've been thru this also. Turns out my clockspring in the steering wheel had broken a wire. I don't remember how much it cost me for the dealer to repair it, but the part is $300! Yes, that's what I said! I think the total bill was something like $460 or so. They told me without that wire, the airbag wouldn't deploy in an accident. Mopar is the only place you can get that part, but a body shop can install it.

You need a special scan tool to read the airbag module. Supposedly.

Well this jeep hasn't cost me much so far so I hope one of the national chains has a code reader that will work. I'll go after work and see Thanks for the ideas. That's why I like this sight.
