Description
Passenger Airbag Switch for Citroën, Peugeot, DS vehicles.
Direct-fit passenger airbag on/off switch compatible with many Stellantis passenger cars. This switch is commonly searched by part number (for example 96413912ZD, 96413912XT, 9641391277, 96373205ZD, 6556E6) and is intended for mechanics and DIY enthusiasts who need a reliable replacement that restores correct manual control of the front passenger airbag. The unit provides the expected tactile feedback and electrical connection to the vehicle SRS circuit, allowing safe deactivation when transporting a rear-facing child seat or when required by vehicle configuration. Suitable as an OEM-equivalent replacement where the original switch shows mechanical damage, contact wear, or electrical faults.
Key Benefits
– OEM-fit replacement for straightforward installation and correct dashboard alignment.
– Restores passenger airbag enable/disable functionality and dashboard indicator operation.
– Frequently searched by original part number for fast identification.

Installation Recommendations
- Always work with the vehicle on a stable surface and follow safe workshop practices.
- Disconnect the negative battery terminal and wait at least 10 minutes before starting work to reduce the risk of accidental airbag deployment.
- Carefully remove the relevant trim panel (usually in the dashboard or glovebox area) to access the switch. Use appropriate plastic trim tools to avoid damage.
- Unplug the electrical connector, remove the retaining screws or clips, and replace the switch with the new unit. Reconnect the connector and reassemble trim panels.
- After replacement, clear any SRS fault codes and verify correct operation of the airbag indicator and switch using an SRS-compliant diagnostic tool. If the SRS light remains on, further diagnosis of wiring and connectors is required.
- If unsure, have the replacement performed or checked by a qualified technician experienced with SRS systems.
Why This Part Fails
- Mechanical wear or broken actuator from repeated use or abuse (switch physically damaged or stuck).
- Corrosion or contamination on the electrical contacts causing intermittent or permanent loss of connectivity.
- Water ingress from leaks or cleaning that reaches the switch assembly.
- Impact damage in collisions or during dashboard removal/installation.
- Internal contact fatigue over long service life leading to unreliable switching and SRS fault codes.
Diagnosis Tips
If the passenger airbag cannot be toggled or the SRS warning lamp is illuminated, check the switch connector for corrosion and secure fit, verify continuity with a multimeter, and read SRS fault codes with a diagnostic tool to pinpoint the fault. In most cases a faulty switch will present as an SRS-related error code or as an inability to change the switch position.
Recommendation
This part is a practical, cost-effective replacement for garages and independent mechanics. Keep the original part number handy when searching or ordering to ensure correct fitment and faster delivery.
