Consumer Description

AIR BAG LIGHT STAYED ON AFTER ENGINE START. RESEARCH INDICATED THAT THE SOLDER JOINTS ON THE CIRCUIT BOARD LOCATED IN THE OVERHEAD CONSOLE FAIL OVER TIME (THE SAME BOARD THAT CONTAINS THE INDICATOR LIGHTS FOR THE PASSENGER AIR BAG STATUS). APPARENTLY THE AIR BAG SYSTEM IS DISABLED WHEN THE AIR BAG LIGHT STAYS ON - MEANING THAT NONE OF THE AIR BAGS MAY WORK IF THE CIRCUIT BOARD BECOMES DEFECTIVE. REPLACEMENT BOARD, IF FOUND, IS OVER $300. I REPAIRED MINE BY RE-SOLDERING THE VARIOUS BAD CONTACT POINTS ON THE BOARD.
