How to fix Charger air bag light and no air 

I had been having a problem with my blower motor not working & no air or rear defogger.I had just about given up & was going to take our 2008 magnum to the dealer. My dear friend & neighbor said lets look on u tube university to see if anybody has experienced the same problem. After we watched your video we checked & the diode was in the wrong place just like yours. I changed the position of the diode & everything now works as it should.I can't thank you enough. that on thing probably saved me hundreds, if not thousands by not having to take it to a dealer

I pulled this thing out a couple weeks ago -.- that thing was responsible for my active suspension, seat belt light and blower motor problems. thanks a bunch, man.

You are a life saver. I havent had AC/heat in my car for about 2 years. I literally just pulled over to a rest area checked that same black diode or fuse and it was in backwards (I guess). BINGO!!! I have AC now in my 2008 Dodge Charger.. Thank you!!!!! May God bless you!!

I am a British owner of a Dodge Challenger R/T, this problem has been driving me crazy for months, the car even failed it's annual MOT (government safety insp req by law in U.K), because of the airbag light. I've been looking online endlessly for a solution but couldn't find one.....Then I found your video!! You Sir are a legend, and if I wasn't 1,000's of miles away, I'd buy you a beer, so here's a virtual one instead! 🍺 Thank you for saving my sanity!

This worked ! I just checked my fuse box & boom ! I automatically saw the fuse piece was loose !! I took it out and properly placed it back in ! Cranked her up , air bag light went off ALSO my ac unit that was completely not working at all works beautifully as if brand new !! Thank you so much again ! 2010 Charger 4D SXT

Thank you so much this video helped me fixed my problem my airbag light was on and I had no air I’m glad I came across your video

Three years later and you still saving folks that $$$$. APPRECIATE YOU BRO!!!

I can't thank you enough! My husband was messing with my fuses and did the exact same thing, I tried looking over and over for solutions and came across this video! You saved me sooooo much money!!!!

Thanks Brett! You just saved me who knows how much $$ and time at the dreaded dealership. Your solution was spot on and I am very grateful.

Just got my car back from three months in the shop from fixing another issue, (Service Parking Assist/Limp mode) , and this started to happen a week later. Saw your video yesterday and gave it a shot. Back to normal!!!! Thanks a million... Would have had to take it out in the woods if I had to take it back to the shop already. lol

THANKS DUDE!! This worked on my 05 Chrysler 300. I was in the back wiring up something a couple days ago, noticed the same thing, pulled it out to check it out and put it back in the wrong slot. Ever since that day my stuff hasn’t worked. Thought I was going to have to replace a blower motor. Then I came across this video, remembered that little fuse thing from the other day, put back in the right slot and fixed everything. You’re a life saver. Thank you

Bro you the man. Yup til this day this video is still helping people out! Your video took a big burden off my back. Went the whole summer and til this day 10 minutes ago with no ac/heat and wasn’t trying to bring to dealership!! I was ready to replace blower motor and fcm. Mad props to you sir!

Damn.... that was it! Dealership diagnosed for free while doing air bag recall. They said the problem was a bad clock spring. Wanted $500. I said no way... Came home, found your video and removed replaced black fuse and light goes out now... my fan works now too. A big THANK YOU!

hello from 2017, this post is still helping people. I was installing a new DVR dash cam and backup camera, and forgot I fiddled with that diode also. I did the same thing you did. thanks for the post man. Memory jogger saved me a major headache. You're the man!

Just had this issue come up and have been looking for a solution for a week in this 105degree weather. Thank you !

Dud you just saved me. I have a 08 charger R/T. I had the same thing you had, I tried this and bammmm my A/C came on thanks my dude. 🙏🙏🙏🙏

You just saved me so much money, thanks man 😭 I actually put it back in the right spot, just didn't press down hard enough ! smh

So, my Challenger had the same problem. I had the black fuse type plug in both slots. I believe that symbol is for a diode. Anyway my diode terminals were very rusty. I wire brushed them until they were clean again and put on some vaseline. The blower works and airbag light is off. I would not have thought the 2 were tied together. Thanks for posting.

I have an 11 Challenger and I had the same problem. That's exactly what the problem was Thank you very much

You're a genius bro for real! Good work man I had been all over the forums trying to resolve this issue for 4 days. The black one in my box was not pushed down all the way. Thank You brother >>>>sharing is caring

You are the first to post this and it was totally helpful. You saved me a week or agonizing over how I was going to figure this out without a mechanic and bam.....you nailed it. I did the same fricken thing only I needed you to tell me I placed that weird one in the wrong spot or I would have never figured it out....thank you

THANK YOU been trying to fix for months. Went out after I played with fuses and I literally just now fixed it while watching ur vid. I have an 06 300. Bro I live in Florida and it’s hot as balls and I have a 2 year old you just saved my ass

DUDE you helped me so much. I bought this car and it had the issue. The airbag light is still on but dude the AC works now and now the heater wow. I am amazed thank you very much

Bro keep posting u never kno who your gonna help i ben working on cars for years and this even helped me lol

Dude. You Rock! Thanks for posting this. I put mine in backwards while checking fuses, and couldn't figure it out. That notch saved me.

Thanks for the video. Ive been having the same issue on my Challenger... found an online rabbit hole and changed that Diode. It temporaryily fixed my problem. I really gotta clean the contacts in there because removing/installing it a few times and it fixed the issue again. Just remember to make sure the arrow on the diode is going the right way! (Pointing to the driver side). Thanks again.

Holy shit dude, I had the exact same issue. This video fixed my problem. I was thinking no way it's just a simple fuse. I watched your video and that exact same ground fuse was loose, I pushed it back in and all is good now. I have way too much crap in my trunk. I owe you one Thanks

thanks for this information i just fixed my chrysler 300 for the same problem i had the air bag light turned on and not air conditioning for 2 years,I left the black fuse in place but in the empty space I put a 20 volt fuse and it works fine

THANK YOU I WENT ALL SUMMER WITHOUT AIR AND TODAY I SAW YOUR VIDEO BECAUSE I REPLACED MY BLOWER RESISTOR IN FEB, AND I THOUGHT IT WAS THAT AGAIN AND I WENT TO REPLACE IT AGAIN AND THAT DIDNT WORK AND I SAW YOUR VIDEO AND I KNEW EXACTLY WHAT FUSE IT WAS AND I THOUGHT IT WAS AN EXTRA AND PUT IT IN ANY PLACE WENT TO PUT IT IN AND STARTED THE CAR AND I GOT HEAT!!!!! FOR WEEKS I HAD A SWEEGE IN THE CAR TELLING MY KIDS TO PUT THEIR HANDS OVER THEIR MOUTHS WHILE WE DRIVE LOL BUT AGAIN THANKS FOR THE VIDEO I KNOW IF I WOULD HAVE TAKEN IT TO SOMEONES SHOP THEY WOULD HAVE GOTTEN OVER ON ME!

Good shit my dude 💪🏽💯 I got two 12 inch subwoofers in my trunk and I guess all the vibration knock it loose. I put it back into it’s slot and it’s back working again. You a GOD....hands down 🤟🏽

Thank you so much!! I purchased a new a.c. controller to fix the problem. I still would have been frustrated if I had not accidently saw your video! I'm installing the new controller anyway because most of the lighting is done in the old one. You're awesome dude!!

Your the man, it fixed my Chrysler 300. Mine was just missing and i replaced it with one from the scrap yard. Thanks 1000

Just bought a 2006 police cruiser. It’s fun as hell to drive😃Got the airbag light too. Thank you for the input.

Thank you for your knowledge, I am a die hard mopar man, as my paw paw. Dodge stickin root to folks over these minor problems. Still love my Dodges....

THANK YOU!! Ive spent so much time looking for the problem was just about to send it to the shop🤯🥳

I lloooove videos halfway right-side up and the other half of video upside down. My Favorite.

You are my #mcm. No AC in Florida fall was getting rough. THANK YOU FOR THIS. Works perfectly on a 2010 Challenger RT after you messed with fuses you shouldn’t have.

Appreciate your video. I was pulling fuses to look for a blown out fuse. I did the same thing and pulled the airbag one and failed to put it back in the proper place.

Thanks man, some mechanic told me it was going to cost me 1,200$ and he was a rip off mechanic and I knew he purposely messed it up because he was to detailed of what was wrong, because it worked fine before. That's why I do my own mechanic. Again thanks man.

I can't believe this video is still helping hundreds of people I'm in complete awe of it. Thanks for all the comments and support on this guys y'all are awsome. Happy holidays to you all!!!!

it worked on my wifes 2009 charger ty so much this was a brain buster ty for the vid

thanks man been looking all over.. damm that's why I love RU-vid great people

Thank you for the informative video. In checking fuses I pulled this one and as many others did not set it in properly. Thanks again 🤜🏽🤛🏽

Man thank u bro man I been spending money for nothing and this worked

Great video... This was just the solution for my ac. Thanks

Good catch Brett! I pulled that coupling to see if it would reset my radio, re-inserted it backwards and got the airbag warning light. I was ready to hit the dealership for a scan before I came across your vid. Thanks for your help in the Mopar community.

U the man ..thanks just did it now I'm back in the game 💪 u tube should pay u bruh..4 helping every 1

Great job... I would have never chkd that fuse because my manual says that fuse is not used... That one was blown in mine... I have air now... Great job

Thank you for making this videom tryed everything and no solution from forums! Awesome!

The best video i seen work perfectly fine for my 2012 dodge charger police interceptor u the 🐏🔥🔥💪🏿

Thank you so much! I was changing some fuses and by mistake put that exact one in the wrong spot and had the same issue. Again thank you!

I have the same problem and thanks to you I can fix thanks soo much from Aguascalientes, México

MAN THANK YOU FOR THIS!!!! COULDNT FIND A FIX FOR THIS ANYWHERE !!!!!

Appreciate you ,Saved a tun of money and time.Appericate it again

Wow! Thank you so much for posting this video. I definitely did the same thing and was going crazy trying to figure it out. fixed my problem in a matter of seconds. Thank you!

bro im so excited because I threw that fake looking fuse to the side somewhere thinking it was a peice of plastic crap Bout to go find it thanks bro!!!!

Broooooo... I've been searching all day for a solution to this problem to no avail and boom, ran across this.. Great help man.. subscribed and liked ..

again GBU . great i already did everything what i could do and nothing but you save my day and money. great

Brooooo! Thank you!! Worked perfectly on my 2014 challenger. Nothing like no a.c. going into July.

I DID IT ALL BY MYSELF!!!! Thanks to your video...I will not be begging the boyfriend for help.

Thank you so much!!! Mine was just loose

Thank you SOOO MUCH! I had the exact same problem for almost a year. Had to store my charger over the winter because the climate control had no signs of life. Idk if abyone has clarified, but that black fuse is not a fuse at all, but it's called a diode. It allows electricity to flow in one direction only, hence the arrow in its symbol. That's how they show up in wiring diagrams. IDK who the fuck was playing around in my rear fuse box, but i am SOOO hlad you posted this vidro. Thank you.

Bro u saved me damn life. I was starting to melt in this Texas heat..

Justed wanted to say thanks man for this video because no where in the manual fuse box or any other shit does it say anything about that lil black fuse with a funny symbol I did same thing checking fuses for another and just stuck where I thought it went again thank you very very much

This worked without a hitch on my 2010 Charger SXT.. Had to reset a fuse to my lights, and I saw that black "fuse" thinking it was just a jumper and I put it in that back notch like you showed and I couldn't figure out the problem all day.. who would have known! Thanks

Fantastic video!! Just saved me so much time and money

2020, this fixed my problem. HUGE thanks!

Thanks a lot man. You nailed it. I had the same problem. You saved me a lot of money.

Thank you! I had to clean the diode and put it in the correct slot

how are the black fuses or whatever they are getting moved in the first place...could it be the dealerships are doing this?

This fixed my light for my airbag but my fan blower still isn't working. Been trying to figure it out for a long time now. Replaced the blower motor and the resistor, not sure where to go from here. A/C and Defrosters work until I try to turn the blower on and then everything kicks off.

thank you so much for making this video! you saved me from ordering another ac module... 5 thumbs up! 🖒🖒🖒🖒🖒

ty bro I had the same problem and thanks to this video saved me a lot of time and money thank you!

I love you man! This fixed mine!

thanks for your help that turned out to be one of the problems! I replaced Battery then Starter and new starter got her running again but still have airbag light on and oh the AC is now blowing but where? i hear it but dont feel it and the switches on the dash one for AC it as well defroster light are not lighting up what am i missing now?

Thanks for the video it my brother shouts out to the 502 all the way from GA

Good looking my guy!!!! thought my climate control went out saved me some feria I owe you a beer.

Man I have to ask you how can I begun to say thank you. I have been having this problem for months, I was having the airbag light on and NO air or heat. Did what you suggested the lights went off for the airbag but right now there is still no air blower work in which I think it might be a problem with the blower because as I sit in the quite and I notice that when I press the ac button it lights up now which let's me know that there is power on the switch at first it wouldn't light up, but as I sit in the quite and turns the ac over to heat I hear a tick letting me now that its rotating over to heat. So I'm going to try a few things out with the blower and go from there. Again thanks soooooo much

You are A GENIUS !!!! I removed mine then i did the same thing you did . It wasnt in right lmao . Thankss Man !!

Dude you are the shit it worked on mine to .don't listen to all the negative crap

Good stuff! Worked for mine!!!!

Thank you bro,my made my day .Thanks again.

This worked at first now it wont come on at all again any ideas? 2006 chrysler 300 base model v6 climate panel does not work :(

Thank all of you for your support I am so glad this helped at least one person more than one is a plus and just awesome. I got quoted $500+ to fix this issue I said no I'll figure it out my self they were going to replace the whole fuse system. Me being in the technical field with GEEK SQUAD i rather look into it myself. Plus no one online had figured this out so I stuck to it till I found a solution. I saved myself and all of you $500+ this feels great please spread the word as I know many more have given up on a solution THANKS GUYS!!!

I had the same issue and was spot on and fixed
