Passenger airbag switch

[P1W]

The airbag light in my dash cluster has been on since I bought this jeep a year and a half ago. Based on this code and description is it safe to assume that replacing the switch would resolve this issue and my airbag light in the dash cluster would turn off?

Some others might chime in also but if I remember correctly the indicator bulb in switch can give you same code

Does this have anything to do with that code?

I’ve read that as well, but don’t see a lindicator bulb in my switch. Do all years have the same switch? Mine is a 2001.

I hope not!

There is in fact a mini bulb soldered to the circuit board in the passenger air bag switch that when burnt out will trigger the air bag light. I had to change it on mine. I bought a bulb at radio shack online, changed it and no more light!

When turning on ignition should briefly light up like this. (Mine is 01 also)

Yep, it was the bulb. New switch and the cluster airbag light is off. Thanks!

I disabled my airbags and disassembled my instrument cluster and put a little piece of black tape over the LED.

Why? Not a hard fix usually.

Where did you get your new switch from? Was it new or used? I am trying to decide if I should replace the bulb or just get a new switch.

If you have a soldering iron the bulb is super easy to change.

Got a new switch at the dealership. It was about $170. Paid quite a bit so if you can solder I suggest you get a new bulb and save yourself some cash.

Definitely going to order a bulb and give it a try.
