Description
Product Overview
The Passenger Airbag Switch is a crucial safety component designed for Citroën and Peugeot vehicles. It allows mechanics and car owners to safely disable the front passenger airbag when installing child seats or performing specific repairs. This ensures compliance with safety regulations and prevents accidental airbag deployment.
Application and Compatibility
This airbag switch fits various Citroën and Peugeot car models, typically those using part numbers 96386084XT and 96373205ZD. It is commonly sought after by professional mechanics and DIY enthusiasts who frequently reference these product codes for accurate identification.
Function and Replacement
The switch controls the activation state of the passenger-side airbag, providing a manual override option. Over time, frequent use or electrical wear can cause malfunction, resulting in the airbag’s inability to deactivate when necessary. Replacement is straightforward: the switch is usually mounted on the dashboard or center console and can be accessed by removing panels for easy disconnection and reconnection of the electrical connector.
Why This Part Fails
Failures often occur due to mechanical wear, electrical contact degradation, or damage from accidental impacts. Replacing the switch restores full control over the airbag system and enhances vehicle safety during specialized conditions.
