airbag light

My air bag light started blinking this morning and maybe 10 minutes later is stayed on for the rest of my drive


I pulled over for a minute turned the pass air bag on and off a couple times it made it go away then it went on again once I started moving


nothing was on the passenger seat if it makes any difference

This is usually a sign that a plug or a connection has come loose

Also check you batteries. When my batteries got low or I accidently drained them down to nothing the airbag light would come until the voltage was brought back up.

I would do what Rich said too. I would start looking at the connections, more than likley start under the hood because who know what could have jumped up and knocked something loose

Let us know what you find. Mine has been on for quite some time now, just never had a chance to dig really deep into it.

A common problem is the light that illuminates the passanger airbag switch burns out and that will cause a code to be flashed. The code is two flashes then a pause and then seven flashes. It repeats itself five times I think and then goes off 'till the next start cycle.

I gotcha covered bro...look no farther! Your clock spring is bad. It's located under the drivers side airbag. Mine did the same thing. It's really no big deal besides the fact u have no airbag, horn, or cruise control... I haven't done mine yet, but hear it's a pretty easy job and the part is around $50. Just remember DISCONNECT THE BATTERIES, can't imagine an airbag blowing up in your face would be a good thing.

If anything like my truck did, you'll start hearing 5 sets of 5 beeps. Will get quite annoying, everytime you turn off, then turn on ur ride. Replace the bulb, beeps go away.
