Service the Air Bag!!!

[jimmylh]

My 94 F-150 had an airbag light on. The only airbag it has is in the steering wheel. It was an open twist cable in the upper part of the steering column. The cable is a flat wound ribbon cable that is connected to the air bag and coils and uncoils as the steering wheel is moved. After years of flexing, the runs in the ribbon finally fail. I ordered the cable and replaced it myself. Not saying that is your problem though, since the car has airbags all over the place, but it is a common problem for steering wheel mounted airbags.

I just started getting that message too.... guess I will start looking for some pinched wires unless someone has any other suggestions..

I had the module and small piece of wiring harness replaced on mine. The repair was going to cost me almost $1000, so I lost my shit bc they made the repair without notifying that my warranty doesn't cover emissions and safety related parts. Long story short, the total cost me $100 and the dealership covered the remaining cost under their costumer loyalty program. Yes, my family has purchased already 6 vehicles from them so it made sense for them to fix the problem asap. Good Luck with your caddy..

Need to find out what that wire does. I had an extra plug under the dash put in so I can use my Tom Tom. I started getting that message right after it was put in but I never figured they might have been related to each other. I started looking I went ahead and took the plug out and took it's wire out. I have yet to get that message again. I am not suggesting to not go to the dealer and get it checked out but for me... looks like a wiring issue too.

On my 03 CTS I get the Air Bag light periodiclly. If I go under the passenger seat and unplug the connector, then plug it back in, the problem goes away. Either it's a dirty contact, or my wife's high heel thats causing the problem, I don't know, but I know that fixes it.

It is common to have problems like this on the harness that goes from under the seat to the side air bag.
Depending on the codes of course, I usually just replace the aforementioned harness.

[mprest99]

What code is it that says it is the harness? and how much is that harness?

I was just getting the pop up every once in a while and now, since the weekend, it is on all the time. I don't know what would have changed.... I don't want to spend a grand to have it fixed either...

I think it is a B0029.
You can ask Luke in the Lindsay Cadillac section in the Vendor area about part pricing.
Explain to him it is the harness from the bottom of the seat to the side air bag and if he has any questions he can call my extention and I'll explain what you are looking for or show him in the parts catalog where it is.
We usually keep them in stock.
Be sure to verify the code before you just order one

They are not too hard to replace but some safety precautions should be followed.

Guys you need to pull the codes and see what it is reading, i had the same thing and it was the front sensor under the passenger seat.
