I'm getting code 24 on the dash for my air bag.
The code means that the airbag brain has an internal fault based on what I can find in the internet. The truck has very low miles and it surprises me that it is actually bad. I've looked for connectors under the seats to check and only see one under the drivers seat. I've disconnected that one cleaned it out with electric cleaner spray put some WD40 on it and plugged it back together. I don't see any other connections under either seat. The brain is under the plastic kick panel on the passenger side on my truck.
Any ideas how I can trouble shoot this and get it fixed?
A lot of people say the fault can be due to corroded connections but I just don't find many to check. My brother-in-law borrowed my truck and left the back window open about a month ago and it rained and stormed hard all night. The area behind the seats got soaked and the seats were even wet. So it would make sense that my airbag code started up a little while after that due to a corroded connector. So, I suspect a connection somewhere is corroded but I just don't see any to tear into except the one I mentioned.
