Does it crank?
Does it make a clicking noise when you turn the key?
No noise at all?
Any recent repairs?

Air bag light shouldn't make your truck not start . Depending on what your truck is doing it could be ,no spark,or no fuel ,your battery maybe too low to crank your truck over or the alternator isn't charging your battery. Your starter could be bad or maybe even your ignition switch or ignition relay ,maybe fuel pump relay. In other words it could be many things try and see if it cranks if it does then it's a fuel or spark/ ignition problem

A buddy of mine said my fuel lines might be clogged or fuel filter and its cause it to not get fuel. It turns over but wont crank. When I try to start it, it turns over and My rpm gauge moves alittle. My Battery gauge is sitting at 14. I have open my throttle tryed spraying some WD40 down in and it didn't work. I don't think its my starter Because it does turn over.

One of our rams did the same thing, after messing with it for a day we figured out it was the crankshaft sensor. was fine the day before, next morning would not start. Also it threw no codes

Still not sure why it lit up the airbag light, but ours did the same

First we need to know if you are getting fuel and if you have spark
