Q: I was just wondering why my airbag light is on?
I bought my car used with 35000 miles on it. I noticed when I started the vehicle the seatbelt chime didn't ding like it's supposed to the seatbelt light just flashed. A couple of weeks ago I was detailing the inside of the car when I noticed that two wires were coming from the bottom of the seatbelt buckle. I don't know if the person that had the car before me cut the wires because he was tired of the seatbelt chime or what but I think that's the problem with the airbag light being on. The problem is I don't know how to reconnect the wires.
My car has 170383 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
