Air Bag Light On

mcontrols · 07-13-2007, 11:18 AM

Air Bag light came on a couple of weeks ago. Stayed on for two days then cleared all by itself. Came on again yesterday. I will schedule for service but was wondering if anyone may know what would cause this to happen?

Thanks,

To your question. No, sorry, I'd have it in to a good dealer service department pdq.

I absolutely LOVE your avatar, though!

if you mean the red airbag light, then you will want that checked asap.

ditto on the avatar. That's awesome!

When my car was new a few months ago, the passenger airbag light started bouncing from on to off when my wife sat in the car. The sensor in the seat needed recalibrating, and it wasn't a difficult procedure.

Turned out to be the connector to the passenger seat sensor was unplugged. My wife likes to shove her purse under there so it must have pulled it loose. Got the 20K service done and she's back on the road.

Thanks folks.
