i think there is a fluid resivour under the hood. might check the level on it. kinda like when the brake fluiid gets low, the brake light goes on.
check the level, its on the drivers side, in the middle of the engine compartment, about 3 in. round resivour.
any confermations guys???

There's no fluids of any kind involved in any SRS system. All electrics. Get the code read ( many auto parts stores do it free... I think AAMCO will do it gratis as well) get it serviced at once. Bags are no place to be learning,or poking around on your own. Taking them out and putting them in still make me a bit wary, and I've done it countless times. Wayne

:o :o :o :o Wow, what was i thinking????? for some reason, dont ask me why, but i thought there was a fluid resevour. and i knew that was crazy, because in every other car ive had there wasnt one, sorry people, call me a fool, take the title from bart, and give it to me....im an idiot!!!!
while poking around, i just thought i saw airbag on the resivour....oh well, count that as my something i learned today!!:rolleyes:

There is a ribbon wire connection between the steering wheel and the steering column called a clockspring. This bridges power to the airbag & horn. It has been known to break. Have this checked. Does your horn work?

i did not check that but my horn works perfect.
Sometimes when i start car light goes off and then next time i start car its back on and it stays. Well tomorrow im going to Autozone and will try get it checked for code.

Yeah, especially when a knuckle head kid named Melvin, spins the wheel, on a frame swap, before the column is reconnected. No, he didn't get fired. Sorry,sore spot :p

Sounds like they were being just a bunch of lazy bastardos. Can't check the code for air bag light? Come on. If the light comes on then theres gotta be some code for it in the computer, all they have to do is hook up the electronics and see what codes are stored. Beiing a cop I've done my fair share of B'sing to sh*t can a job, and, well, I smell something stinky. lol.
