Bought my car with mroe issues than I thought. HELP!! Options

[sammieannie87]

So since my boy friend owns a 6th gen and the first time I laid eyes on the car, I wanted one. I finally got the celica, but it had more issues than I thought. I boguht the car with both air bags deployed. Since my boy friend did the 7th gen steering wheel swap he had a spare steering wheel left over and we used the air bag assembly from that, but the passenger side air bag panel is still open and the air bag light is on. What can we do to get rid of that light? I really don't have money right now, since I used it all on buying my very own 6th gen. Does anyone know what I can do to get rid of this? Any way to disengage the air bag light? Or do I have to go out and buy a passenger side air bag? Please help.

Just remove the bulb for now since you seem like you may want to put it back eventually. it's easy to do and won't take very long. I'd leave everything else in place in case you ever do want to restore the system.
Airbag's are flightly things [especially the older ones in our cars]. I have had two 6gc's totaled [one was just on paper - the car got fixed] by other people. One was hit extremly hard from behind and the airbags didn't go off. Sometimes they do on the slitest little hit. This sounds like your case.
Don't worry so much about it - just remove the bulb and stick it in your center console or future use.
if you need a how-to just follow the one for changing the bulbs in the gauge cluster - make sure you note where the light is before you start disassembling things.
hope this helps
