Thumbs down Air Bag light will not go out!

The last time I drove the car was last weekend so it has been sitting for a week untouched.

Start driving today everything seems fine. Then I notice the Air Bag light is on. I pull over, shut the car off and pull the PCM fuse for a few seconds. Start driving again and it is still coming on. It comes on every minute or so for a few seconds then goes out.

I don't get it. It's never done this in the 2+ years I've had it. Now all of a sudden for no reason it won't go out!

Any ideas?

2 things -

check the yellow wire under the dash,
clean the chassis ground that comes off the battery.

good luck.

I would like some info on how to get this light to go out as well. Mine came on right after I installed a MSD6A ignition, the airbag and abs inop light. Might just be a coincidence, but I would still like to get the lights turned off.

I am thinking about just yanking the bulb that lights it up when I swap in my green gauge cluster bulbs, but I would like to solve this problem before doing that

I thought about doing that myself but I would rather solve the problem than hide it.

No one has any suggestions??

Your problem could be in the wiring. The SDM module probably reads the resistance as too high and then the light comes on. It usually happens when it is too hot. First you have to find out what code you are getting and from which side the car (passenger or driver) it is coming from. To do that you need a gadget called Tech2 which the dealers use. Without that it would be really hard for you to solve the problem. DO NOT play with wires yourself. The airbag might blow out while you are trying to fix it!!!!!! I would just take it to a dealer!

Screw wasting money taking it to the dealer. I will just yank the bulb. It doesn't effect how the car runs

no, but with the airbag light on, it won't go off in the event of an accident, and with the brake light on, your abs wont work
