Thanks in advance,

1996 Jeep Cherokee laredo and the air bag light came on 3-4 days ago
and continues to stay on. :-(

Prior to this (check engine light), I had 2 new oxygen sensors replaced and no more problems here (but.....on a side note thought OS were kinda pricey).

Couple of months ago, dials began to drop while driving (figured alternator) but replaced battery and this fix was over.

Any suggestions on turning off the air bag light? I thought I'd disconnect battery cable for a few seconds to see what would happen.

Thanks.

Just something for you to quickly check.............there are two airbag fuses in your fuse block located in the right kickpanel. The fuse positions should be 26 & 27, I believe the fuses to the far lower right. Check your owners manual to be sure. If they would happen to be blown or not making good contact, your airbag light will be on.

I would like to disconnect the passenger airbag in my wifes Jeep, but I haven't figured out how, without having the airbag light stay lit.

Good luck,

slacker

is this a cherokee or a grand cherokee?The reason I ask is 95 and 96 cherokees do not have air bag lights.they have a mechanical airbag system with no electronics.

Thanks slacker,

Looking forward to trying your suggestion out. Its not returned to the driveway and I suspect last minute Xmas shopping :-(

I'll try it out first thing tomorrow morning.

like slacker says check the fuses,thats always a good place to start.if thats not it it would help if you had the code or codes.one thing i have seen a few times,the wiring that goes to the front impact sensors gets corroded.look where the harness goes into the car under the washer fluid reservoir.also inside the car there is a grey connector with 4 wires in in it is right by the hood release handle.i have seen that connector messed up.another common thing is the clock spring but like i said you need the code to figure it out for sure

As much as i hate to say this I would suggest takeing the ole jeep to the Dealership and have them check it out. Airbags is something you don't want to "F" around with. Your safety and your passengers could be at stake, im all for donig it yourself but things like this should be taken to the dealership and have them check it out
