Air Bag light -- '96

1996 Intrepid ES, 135k...

Have a constant air bag light on -- comes on after about 10 seconds -- stays on all the time. I've tried to "jiggle" the ignition switch -- no change. No other electrical problems -- is it the ignition switch, or something else? Also -- anyone have the part number for a '96 ignition switch?

If all the accessories and such are working with the key on then I wouldn't think the ignition Switch is the fault, you might have a disconnected or bad sensor for the air bag system or the Air Bag Control module went bad or maybe the air bag itself or the wiring to it is faulty. It would be best in this case to go to the dealer and have them check it out, you don't want to mess with this as if you do the wrong thing then you might deploy the bags and be in a more expensive situation than what you have now.

Dont know if that is your problem but you requested a part# for the ignition switch 5014176aa
and the price is 65.60 canadian funds

hi,
i hv similar airbag light on problem and hv code read: resistance too great.
hv been told it may be clockspring, but where is it and how to adjust?
dealer asks for $ 400 to fix , too crazy......

can anyone help?

the last time that happened we replaced the clockspring and told the dealer they had to and they didnt charge anything to do it

The clockspring is behind the steering wheel inside the column, they are not cheap to replace and there is no adjustment, they either work or they don't.
