Chimes beeping in Vehicle 5 times

I have a chime sound that goes for 5 beeps then stops then starts all over again, eventually it stops beeping.
I think it is from the Passenger airbag switch that can be shut off by the On /Off key slot.
The Bulb is burned out..
I need to order a new bulb that is inside the switch..
Don't have any idea what size or volts is required to solder a new bulb, and where to purchase a new bulb?

Thanks for your helpful information

The Switch is called: Airbag Deactivation Switch, I can not buy from dealer just the bulb, The switch is retailed at $116.00 for dealership.

I guess you've already looked at something like this? If you can either solder in a new bulb, or look for the switch at a salvage yard instead of a crazy $116, new part.

Therein lies your problem. A burnt out airbag light will cause 5 beeps and repeat 5 times before stopping.

The SRS module is beeping because the PRIMARY airbag status bulb in the instrument cluster is burned out PLUS you have one or more additional faults.

First thing to do is to replace the bulb in the cluster. It will 1) shut off the beeping and then 2) flash a two-digit fault code that will tell you what it's complaining about.

The sound is NOT coming from the PAD switch assembly.

Now, if the bulb in the PAD switch is burned out, you'd get a Lamp Flash Code (LFC) of 2-7. If you can solder, that bulb can also be easily replaced.
