1999 WJ Airbag Light/Chime driving me crazy!
1999 WJ:
The Airbag Idiot light (and chime) are coming-on at random times. The dealer has had it and not been able to get a code from it. I took it in and they read a code about the squib circuit, I think in the steering column. Then later, they were NOT able to confirm the reading, so they didn't work on it. I looked and didn't see a fuse for the airbag. (which makes a kind of sense.) Is there anything simple to disable the airbag circuit, since when the light is on it won't work anyway? My preference would be to disable the driver's airbag only, if possible. Thanks for any help, Bob in Iowa, USA |

I think anything you do to the airbag system to disable it, disables the whole system. -- Old Crow '95 Wrangler Rio Grande |

Hi Bob,
I would be suspicious about a possible Incorrect Instrument Printed Circuit Installed: http://alldata.com/TSB/04/990418d2.html I know the same year TJs had a problem, setting the airbag light.

I think it is called a clock spring switch it fits right behind the air bag
and allows contact as the steering wheel as it is rotated. "L.W.

Could be that's listed in the recalls, too.
