Fyi airbag light cargo light fuse

Just a FYI for some poor soul who changes their cargo light to an LED.

If you accidentally short the light when changing it replacing with a wedge LED - you'll trip the fuse and the airbag light will come on thinking you have a $700 relay problem.



Fortunately I didn't go down that road.

It's $1 fuse problem.

Doesn't show up on the fuse grid as an airbag light with the cargo light and map lights. But it is.

Not sure what fuse F# it is. The dealer did it free. But the fuse grid looks like a nightmare. Someone posted it's F14. My F14 fuse was vacant. Who knows?

Just be careful shorting your lights when changing to LED.
