| 2008 | AIR BAGS | MY 2008 SUBARU LEGACY WITH 59K MILES WAS HAVING INTERMITTENT AIR BAG WARNING LIGHT ISSUES. THE AIR BAG LIGHT WOULD TURN OFF AND ON AT RANDOM TIMES WITH NO PATTERN OR REASONS. THE MANUAL ADVISES TO HAVE THE AIR BAG SYSTEM IMMEDIATELY CHECKED OUT TO FIND REASONS THAT WOULD ILLUMINATE THE WARNING LIGHT. TOOK THE CAR TO THE DEALER TODAY AND THE PROBLEM WAS DIAGNOSED AS A FAULTY OVER HEAD MAP CONSOLE LIGHT CLUSTER NEAR THE SUNROOF CONTROLS. THE OFFICIAL PART THAT HAS A SHORT OR FAULTY WIRING IS PART # 84621AG51A. I ONLY NEED THE AIRBAG WIRING BUT UNFORTUNATELY THE ENTIRE OVERHEAD CLUSTER IS NECESSARY BECAUSE THEY DON'T HAVE JUST AN AIRBAG WIRING REPLACEMENT PART. THE TOTAL COST TO HAVE THE AIR BAG SYSTEM BACK TO WORKING ORDER WAS $294.00 COMPLETE. I HAVE RAN AN INTERNET SEARCH ENGINE AND THIS ISSUE IS VERY COMMON. IT SEEMS IRRESPONSIBLE FOR SUBARU TO HAVE SUCH AN IMPORTANT SAFETY SYSTEM BE DISABLED BY A FAULTY CRAPPY SOLDERING JOB IN THE OVER HEAD MAP LIGHT CONSOLE. *TR |
