Less Air Conditioning

1. On models equipped with airbag, disarm airbag system as described under MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES/AIRBAG SYSTEM DISARMING.
2. Disconnect battery ground cable.
3. Remove screws securing right ventilator control cable to instrument panel.
4. Remove screw securing right register duct to lower right edge of instrument panel.
5. Remove glove box and hinge bar from instrument panel.
6. Pull right register duct from installed position between air inlet duct and right register opening, Fig. 10.
7. Remove ventilator grille from bottom of ventilator assembly, then screws securing right ventilator assembly to blower housing.
8. Remove hub clamp spring from blower wheel hub, Fig. 11.
9. Pull blower wheel from blower shaft, then remove three blower motor flange attaching screws.
10. Pull blower motor from housing, disconnect electrical connector, then remove motor from vehicle.
11. Reverse procedure to install.
12. On models equipped with airbag, rearm airbag system as described under MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES/AIRBAG SYSTEM DISARMING.

With Air Conditioning

1. On models equipped with airbag, disarm airbag system as described under MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES/AIRBAG SYSTEM DISARMING.
2. Disconnect battery ground cable.
3. Remove glove box door and instrument panel lower reinforcement from instrument panel.
4. Disconnect blower motor electrical connector, then remove blower motor and mounting plate from evaporator housing.
5. Rotate motor until mounting plate flats clear edge of glove box opening, then remove motor.
6. Remove hub clamp wheel spring from blower wheel hub and remove blower wheel from motor shaft.
7. Reverse procedure to install.
8. On models equipped with airbag, rearm airbag system as described underMAINTENANCE PROCEDURES/AIRBAG SYSTEM DISARMING.

Try looking for the fuse of the airbag and horn to start.

The airbag module may be bad if it doesn't light or the bulb is burnt out on the instrument panel.

From autozone.com CAUTION On vehicles equipped with airbags, disable the airbag system before attempting any steering wheel, steering column, or instrument panel component diagnosis or service. Disconnect and isolate the negative battery (ground) cable, then wait two minutes for the airbag system capacitor to discharge before performing further diagnosis or service. This is the only sure way to disable the airbag system. Failure to take the proper precautions could result in accidental airbag deployment and possible personal injury or death.

1. Disconnect and isolate the negative battery cable.
2. Remove the instrument panel silencer from the passenger side of the instrument panel, as follows:
   1. Remove the two push-pins that secure the instrument panel silencer to the instrument panel.
   2. Pull the instrument panel silencer rearward to disengage it from the brackets located near the dash panel.
   c. Remove the instrument panel silencer from the vehicle.

3. Disengage the wire harness connector locking tab and disconnect the wire harness connector and wire harness retainers from the blower motor.

4. Remove the four screws that secure the blower motor to the HVAC housing.

5. Remove the blower motor from the HVAC housing.

To install

1. Position the blower motor into the HVAC housing.
2. Install the four screws that secure the blower motor to the HVAC housing. Tighten the screws to 20 inch lbs. (2.2 Nm).
3. Attach the wire harness connector to the blower motor and engage the wire harness connector locking tab.
4. Install the HVAC wire harness retainers onto the blower motor.
5. Install the instrument panel silencer onto the passenger side of the instrument panel, as follows:
   1. Position the instrument panel silencer into the vehicle.
   2. Install the instrument panel silencer above the brackets located near the dash panel.
   3. Install the two push-pins that secure the instrument panel silencer to the instrument panel.
   
   
6. Reconnect the negative battery cable.

you'll need to hook the vehicle up to a cumputer scanner and clear the codes

There is a loose connection (or corrosion) where the instrument cluster attaches to the wiring harness mount. Remove the screws (2) from the dash cover below the steering wheel and remove the panel. Remove the defrost vent cover (just lift carefully, it only snaps into place. Remove the screws around the cluster panel cover and remove the cover. Remove the the instrument cluster (it pulls straight out toward you) and make sure the wires are not corroded. Make sure the wiring harness is firmly attached to the metal bracket that holds them in place. Carefully push the instrument cluster back into place. While firmly holding the cluster in place, install and tightnen the screws that hold the cluster. After tightening, wiggle it and make sure it's solid. Start your Jeep and make sure everything works. Shut jeep off and install the rest of the panels in the reverse order of removal. This should fix your problem. What happens is, the cluster becomes loose, speedo quits working (sometimes all other gauges quit also) and gives an airbag code.

have you any history on vrhicle normally check the wires under your front seats normally the vehicles have been valeted and wires have been disturbed or the have been torn you will need diagnostic to turn bag light off also if the dash has been out and the ignition has been switched on the air bag light will come on as the circuit has been broken with no clocks in it

If you mean the passenger airbag light no longer lights up and airbag light on the dash blinks at start-up and then stays on; the read the below and check this site:

I went to radio shack cost me $2.99 for 3 bulb packet. But the post below worked. It really didn't that long, pretty easy job. Took longer to find the tools. The first guys idea/fix, the second guy gave pretty good instructions. Just a little more detail: (3) the clips are one each side of the panel; (5) these two screws are on the inside lower part of module, (6) unclip the plastic tabs from the back (where the plug end is) first and it should lift up easily.

I had this happen on my 98 Ranger.(code 27) My light on the module that turns off the passenger side airbag was burnt out. I went to Radio Shack and bought a 12v light with wires attached and soldered them to the existing light.(didn't even take it out!) It fixed it!! Cost, about $1.50 and 20 minutes of fix time.

Note: If the light by the key switch to turn off the passenger side airbag does not work, it disables the entire airbag system! Hope yours is as easy to fix.

gerg,

Thanks for your post. I have no way to read codes, but I heard the five tone alarm every time I started the vehicle and the passenger air bag off light did not light up. I was skeptical, but tried your advice and it worked.

Parts:
1) 12-volt colored lamp (Radio Shack part: 272-1099)

Tools:
1) socket set
2) philips head screw driver
3) soldering iron

Procedure:
1) remove ash tray from console panel
2) using a socket set, remove 4 hex head screws from console panel
3) pull console panel out of the two clips
4) remove connector from air bag key module in console panel and take console panel to a work bench
5) remove 2 philips head screws to remove the airbag key module
6) carefully unclip the plastic tabs that hold the airbag key module case together
7) remove connector circuit board from air bag key module
8) solder the yellow replacement lamp to the two solder pads for the original lamp on the back side of the circuit board (which wire to which pad does not matter)
9) tie the replacement lamp in place next to the original lamp
10) replace the circuit board in the airbag key module and snap the case back together
11) connect the airbag key module in the truck and start the engine to check that the lamp illuminates and that the alarm does not sound
12) screw the aribag key module back into the console panel
13) snap the console panel back into the truck
14) replace the 4 hex head screws
15) replace the ash tray

That is an Airbag Warning Light. You will need to have the Dealership or a Qualified Mechanic Reset this Light. If you try and mess around with the Air Bag System The airbags could go off resulting in Major Repairs to the Dash and other Components.
