It is on because there is a problem with the SRS. Take it to a professional, as working on the SRS is dangerous and not a DIY job.
The airbag computer has detected an electrical malfunction, this is not a diy situation, please take to a qualified mechanic.
There are several reasons the airbag light will stay on, in your 1998 Dodge avenger. The most common reason is the airbag sensor is not functioning properly.
It is on because the abs computer has detected a malfunction and set a code.
Faulty air bag, see the dealer!!! It could also mean there is a faulty airbag clockspring, this is located in the hub of the steering wheel, and can cause an open circuit which allows the light to stay on. This is covered in a recall issued by Dodge. The horn and/or cruise control could also be affected. I know this because we recently (03/26) purchased a '99 Dodge Caravan. The airbag light was on. We then noticed that the horn was nonfunctional. After doing some research online I found information on the recall, it also mentioned that the cruise control. Lo and behold, the next time I drove it, the cruise control didn't work. I contacted my local Dodge dealer and the problem was fixed at no charge!! The airbag light is off, the horn and cruise control both work.
That would happen if the alternator is over or under charging.
Bad switch. Easy fix- cheap part!
a failure has been detected in the safety restraint system. The airbag computer will have stored a code.
there is something wrong with one of the airbag sensors, get it checked out as your airbags won't work in a crash.
Yes, a blown or missing fuse can cause the airbag light to stay on.
I believe that the airbag light staying on, is an indication that there is a problem in the airbag system. I'd get it to a mechanic to have it looked at if I were you.FriPilot
get your airbag looked at it might need servicing
The airbag light comes on at start up for a bulb check. It will stay on when the computer detects a malfunction and sets a code.The airbag light comes on at start up for a bulb check. It will stay on when the computer detects a malfunction and sets a code.
