Why would airbag light come on and cause air conditioning to not work on 2001 Dodge Intrepid?

One of the air bag sensors is bad. Two are located under the headlights above the front bumper. The third is under the driver's seat. There is an initial check of the airbags upon starting the car. If the airbag system detects a fault it will disable the airbags. So if you are in a crash the airbags will not deploy. Read up on airbags before doing anything, they can deploy while you work on them.

Will the airbags deploy without the use of safety seatbelts?

Yes, airbags can deploy even if safety seatbelts are not being used. However, seatbelts and airbags are designed to work together to provide optimal protection during a collision. Relying solely on airbags without wearing a seatbelt significantly increases the risk of injury, as the occupant may be thrown forward or out of position, reducing the effectiveness of the airbag.
