Airbag light does not illuminate at startup, failed safety check
Hi guys, you have always been a great resource for helping me solve new issues with my truck, but this is the first one I haven't found covered in the forums. Thanks for all the help and hard work in the past.
I have a 1995 Tacoma 3.4 V6 Automatic that does not display the airbag/SRS light at startup. Initially, the seatbelt light was not illuminating either and there was no chime. I have since solved the seatbelt light by jiggling the seatside connector under the drivers seat and the light has come back on but it is finnicky and any movements of seat may disrupt connection between wire and seatbelt (I believe).
Safety inspection is required in HI and I did not pass due to SRS/Airbag light not illuminating at startup. I have since pulled the instrument cluster and replaced lights but no light is showing. With the bulb out I checked for tape/obstructions and there was nothing blocking the light. Also i cleaned the connection where the bulb contacts the panel. I checked the two wires/lines that connect between the bulb and the blue plug that attaches into the instrument cluster and they are attached. No changes with any of this.
I have seen the airbag light come on for <1min at a time 2x in the last year. The light dimly lights, gets brighter and then slowly fades out. This is leading me to believe I have a loose wire. Any ideas where to start.
All other lights work on the dash/cluster.
Thanks again and sorry for the long post.
