The airbag light staying on in your 1997 Ford Expedition is typically related to the airbag system and should not directly cause your battery to go dead. However, if there is an electrical issue, such as a short circuit or a malfunctioning component, it could lead to battery drain. It's best to have the vehicle inspected by a professional to diagnose the airbag light and any potential electrical problems.
You have to repair the cause of the light coming on. The airbag computer will have set a code about the cause. See related question for more info.
