- 2007 Ranger XL
I have a 2007 Ranger XL. I needed to do some work behind the passenger airbag. There is nothing wrong however with the airbag. So I removed the fastening bolts above the glove compartment, pulled out the airbag module carefully but had to disconnect the module electrical connector. While I was doing the work behind, I had a minor non-vehicle emergency, that required me to drive someplace. A short distance. I had no passengers, and this is my only vehicle, but I drove. I did notice that the airbag indicator light illuminated in the instrument cluster area, which I supposed had to do with the disconnection of the module. There was however no beeps or tones associated with the illumination and neither did it blink. But it remained lit.
My question here is two-pointed:
1- Will a disconnected passenger airbag 'disable' the driver airbag from working/deploying?
2- Will reconnecting the passenger airbag cause both the indicator light to go off, and allow things to return to normal prior to my initial work?
Or do I hafta depower and repower the system entirely?
