Help! - airbag light on

My opinion, for what it's worth, don't drive that truck anywhere other than to the dealer to get it checked out - and on your way there go slow and easy over bumps like that. And call them first to see what they suggest - if there's a chance of accidental deployment they'll know.

You don't want an accidental airbag discharge - that's at least $3,000 to fix, between the replacement bags, the dash cover and steering wheel cover, the windshield that inevitably gets broken... The insurance company won't be happy.

Not to mention a clean pair of shorts for driver and passengers. ;-)

I would suggest a tow truck. An airbag is most likely the fastest thing that will ever hit you. Last wreck I had and the SRS deployed, I was hurt worse by the airbag. I ended up with a pair of broken glasses and a broken nose. Mike

From the three responses that I had up to now I was apparently pretty lucky not to have had a deployment occur. The initial incident occured nearly twenty miles from home. I drove home, then back out again to the dealership for a night drop once a ride was figured out. Some of you are cringing right now reading this but there is no "advice" given through the owners manual such as was available here so I count myself lucky!

Off to call the dealer to find out what the damage (both physical and $$) may be!

Well, $380 later and the passenger side key-operated switch being replaced, I have my truck back. The part was about $210, the other $170 was LABOR! I think I am in the wrong business...
