Q: Having issues with airbag lights
The airbag light is coming on in my car. The passenger air bag light does not turn on. However, if someone sits in the passenger seat, sometimes the dash light goes off, and then the passenger side airbag light in the console goes on. While driving, the dash light will come back on and then the passenger airbag light will turn off. If the passenger adjusts the seat, moves around and messes with the seat belt, the issue is corrected. Then after driving for a few more minutes, the problem comes back. Is this something that I can fix myself?
