Default Airbag light help!!!!

Hey guys i have a 2001 ram just the other day my airbag light came on, i checked the codes and nothing came up. so i unplugged the battery and checked the fuses. even after i unplugged the battery, the airbag light was still on. could it be the coil spring ? i need to fix it quick im heading to texas from california in 3 weeks

ha...would suck if it deployed.....my light doesnt stay on constantly though....it comes on randomly and then goes off...sometimes it comes on when i start the truck, other times it will just pop on...but i dont think its going to deploy anytime though, like i said, mines been doing it for almost a year

My friends F.O.R.D. Taurus had an airbag light that would come on. The most annyoing this is that sometimes it would make this annoying buzzing noise that would occure every 4-5 seconds while the car was on. My friend flipped the car, and the problem went away.

I, personally, would unplug the connector from the airbag(s) and/or the airbag control module.

i wouldnt, its only a light that comes on, no buzzer, and on the off chance the airbags still work i want them to still be functionally you know

Airbag light usually indicates a circuit problem, or a bad impact sensor. Look at your grounds. Make sure they're tight.


Good luck.

No joke. This is the one time when smart-*** answers should be kept silent, and the owner should put a crowbar in his wallet and have it professionally inspected. Like them or not, the airbags are in place for a reason.
