While driving the air bag light came on and the A/C went out. I called a dealership to see what the issue could be and they said bring it in it could be as simple as a fuse. Then I googled the issue and saw which fuses and changed them but it didn't work. I know there was a recall on the airbags and since the issue started when that light came on I wanted to try getting that fixed first and maybe that would solve the issue (since the A/C and airbags are around the same area). I take the car in. They fix 1 air bag (no parts for passenger side) and the ignition switch. Still no air/heat/defrost. I pay $121 for a diagnosis of ,start with replacing the tipm (no guarantee that will fix the issue or that it's a permanent fix) since the AC is not getting power and ground.
