Im new guys

I have a 2002 stepside Tacoma, the airbag light came on last night for no reason and now it's blinking, any ideas on what's wrong guys?

 

welcome. Something must be wrong with your airbag..


sorry not much help, but nice truck

 

Air bag sensor needs replaced?

 

Thanks, im dreading a visit to the dealer.

 

Thanks very much.

 

Welcome to TW.Faulty sensor.

 

Thanks

 

Welcome to TW- Maybe disconnect the battery & see if it clears the dash light?

 

Good Idea I'll try that, thanks.

 

Any competent shop should be able to take care of that. Any dealer will try to rob you.

 

I would reset the battery. Hope it helps. Stay away from the dealer.

 

No doubt

 

True that, thanks.

 

I had this problem on a mustang I had because I went aftermarket steering wheel. I did a quick fix by taking off the light bulb and painting it black. This made the light "disappear" because it was annoying lol

 

I put a piece of electrical tape over mine once in my Ford probe, quick fix.

 

I had it happen on an 07 Silverado. Sensor went bad and dealership quoted me like $400 (had it there for something else when light came on...hmmm ). Picked up a new sensor on Chevy Parts Direct for like $50 if I remember right. Took my truck to a local garage, they unhooked the battery for 10-15 minutes and replaced the sensor. Not sure how it is on a Tacoma, but the Silverado was one screw and unplug/plug in new one. Would have done it myself, but didnt feel comfortable as it was dealing with the airbag system.

 

Up until this point I had totally forgotten about the existence of the Ford Probe.

 

I say you save money and have our ideas make a baby and tape/paint it...problem fixed quick Well not too quick...
