My air bag warning light on the dash is still coming on when it feels like it so is there a way to either remove the bulb or somehow switch it out?

It's called desperation and being pissed off. I don't trust the main dealer ever since they got uppity when I said I would be doing the servicing from now on. I must try and find a decent auto-electrician in Redditch or district who knows the Jimnys systems. Not an easy job.
Good help is hard to find. There might not be enough Suzukis on UK roads for there to be a Suzuki guru out there -- I don't know -- so maybe a very sharp all-makes or Japanese-only shop could be found. It could be the case that the failure message is being logged by the system, and anyone with a decent scan tool could then find it even when the light is not lit.
Or, and this is not ideal but might be an option, you could wait until the airbag light comes on and stays on, then even an incompetent main dealer shop almost couldn't avoid fixing it properly...
In any case good luck. Intermittent faults can drive one mad.
Ok so does anyone know where i can purchase the passenger airbag from ?
That “instructional video” was really helpful btw. I thought forums were designed to share useful information and not goof around
They're not easy to buy since they'll likely have deployed in wrecked cars and airbags aren't the kind of parts easily buyable through non mainline parts places in general. I have a feeling you also have to replace the actual SRS module (iirc Suzuki call it SDM) and code that to the car, so it's not a bolt in and drive away.
For at least RHD cars the part number for passengers airbag appears to be 73910-77R00-5PK. Couldn't easily spot the SDM in the parts diagrams to confirm what part that would be, but based on Suzuki's systematics for parts probably 38910-77R00 (38910 seems to be airbag control modules, 77R for JB64/JB74 parts).
Thank you. Tbh, I only want the dashboard to look normal again. If you know of any other advice, i would greatly appreciate it. I don't have any laws about needing the airbag system to work, nor do i drive at high speeds in the bahamas. And my jb74 is a LHD
I thought about this initially, but didn't like how it looked. I Guess i cant be picky since no1 knows how to find a replacement tho lol
Thanks for sharing a helpful solution!
Used airbags in fact are quite easily found, even for something as unusual as the current Jimny. Ebay, national small ads sites, etc.
But our Bahamian poster has probably seen those adverts already, and didn't like the prices. He is not looking to spend more than the bare minimum and feels that commonsense safety items are not worth the dosh. Also he has not yet figured out that his instrument panel and ECU will show a permanent airbag problem, even if he makes his dashboard hole look pretty.
He has a right to ask questions in the forum. I have the right to point out that he is being foolish.
Not to mention dishonest-- or did you think he was definitely intending to tell the future buyer of his Jimny about the perfectly camouflaged nonfunctional airbag?
I humbly suggest to others on the forum that it is not in your own best interest to help people cover up mechanical, structural, or safety problems on used cars. Think about what you are doing.
