passenger airbag off light
ok i broke the tab off of this light when i first put my radio back in 09. it caused my airbag light on my dash to come on. i am wondering if i can buy just this piece or do i have to rig some way to fix it. i was thinking if i have to fix it i can solder some wire on to the taps and add a blade connecter to each side that way i have some more slack when i need to remove it since there is only like a inch of play right now.
here are pics of what i need.
this is the only sticker or number on here i dont know if its a part number or what.

well i decided to fix it and use the stock clip. its a little ghetto but it works. i will be testing it in a everyday driving to see how it holds up since this is just a idea i had at 5am with no sleep.
Tools needed:
Soldering Iron
Solder
Side cutters
T-20 Star driver
Flat head screw driver (optional)
Knife or Sand paper (sand paper would work better)
Needle nose pliers (optional but may make installing easier)
Bobbing pin (i think thats what its called)
Step one:
remove radio bezel from dash board. I use a screw driver to pop up the top corner and then i am able to pull it off. It may be stiff and you think you are gonna break the plastic but just pull and work your way down it.
Step Two:
unplug all connections to a/c, Cig lighter and the passenger airbag off light if you plugged it back in even tho the tab broke.
Step three:
Remove the 3 T-20 star screws that hold the light to the bezel.
Step Four:
Straighten the bobbing pin out and sand it so it is bare metal. push under where the old tab broke off. you may have to cut the sides of the bobbing pin to form a point so it slides in there.
Step five:
Cut the bobbing pin so it is flush with the other pin that is there. You may have to remove it to cut it.
Step six:
Heat your soldering iron and solder the bobbing pin to the stock wire.
Step Seven:
Let the solder cool a bit and then reinstall it in the dash bezel and plug it back in. Mine was a little hard plugging it back in but it went in and got rid of the airbag light that was on my cluster.
I hope this works for you it worked for me so far but i have only tested this for less then 2 hours so far.
sorry for the bad pics but all i have is my iphone
