| Re: airbag warning light Depending on what the cause is it can disable the airbags I think. Certainly not something to be taking chances with and should be looked at ASAP IMHO.

| Re: airbag warning light Do it soonest. It's one piece of kit everyone tries not to use, but I was very glad mine worked properly when I rolled my old ZX. |

In this particular case, I would read the fault code and then consider clearing it.

| Re: airbag warning light I'm guessing here, but I'd not expect the warning light to stay on if you switched the passenger bag off, cos it then couldn't warn you of a fault with the driver's bag. |

| Re: airbag warning light Oi, my earlier post wasn't just an idle comment, you know! Having switched off the passenger airbag on my car once, the light on the dash and on the instrument cluster stayed on for as long as I was in the car IIRC - just as the ASR light stays on as long as the traction control's switched off... Of course if he doesn't have an airbag deactivation switch, it won't be that!
