Side Airbag Light

My side airbag light comes on and off and then starts flashing, then stops until the next day. Any thoughts???

Improperly seated passengers or items placed on the passenger seat can cause this, as the light warns you that something may be in the projected deployment path of the airbag and it is temporarily disabled. Check your owner's manual--it has a thorough explanation of it.

Tell your wife or your girlfriend to sit still while in the car.

Cheers !!!

I've never seen it flash, so that's probably a short like ABLUETYPES78 said or it's a malfunction of the air bag... I'd get that checked asap...

Mine came on when my 60 pound grandson was moving around in the passenger seat. The manual says it will come on if your passenger is too small to be up there with you.
