Front Air Bag Sensor Control problems of the 1998 Jeep Wrangler

Air bag light remained on while driving. Vehicle was taken to the dealer, who informed the consumer that the problem was due to the wiring harness being too short.

The air bag light comes on. All the other dashboard indicators do not work when this happens. This problem occurs intermittently.

Air bag sensor lamp illuminates at any speed of operation preceeded by ticking sound from under the steering wheel column. Once sensor illuminates tachometer stops and odometer stops recording miles. The problem can occur at any time and last anywhere from 10 seconds to 20 minutes. Manufacturers literature states that airbag can be deployed while sensor is illuminated. Two dealership attempts at repairing the problem have been unsuccessful. The manufacturer claims it may never accurately identify or resolve the problem.

Air bag light comes on. The dash and the gauges (speedometer, rpm, etc. ) stopped working. Dealer contacted to repair work, problem still exists.

This vehicle has its gauges drop off intermittently. In some cases, all guages drop, in others just the tach and speedometer. Shelley warsaw cp je, clarksville, MD has worked on the vehicle on 3 occasions. Initially they replaced the airbag sensor. This did not solve the problem. The vehicle spent 1. 5 days in this facility in June. They diagnosed it as a harnass connector problem. The situation appeared to be remediated, but has once again occurred. It is uncomfortable to drive a vehicel that indicates a problem with the airbag (check airbag signal) on a daily basis.

Air bag sensor light illuminated and knocked out digital console readings. Both doors bulked in half due to cold weather, failing to latch shut. Steering box is leaking due to a crack. Last item was replaced three weeks prior to recurring failure. Transmission and torque converter were repaired due to leaking transmission cooler lines.
