Default weird ****

well i have heard that that when your O2's go out it can cause the air bag light to come on..... wondering if this is true cause this has started happening to me my air bag light comes on all the time except for in the middle of the day when it gets freakin hot outside, also my gas mileage has become considerably worse, used to get 300-330 a tank looks like i would barely get 200 right now, i dont have a ses light on which is what i would have figured for a bad 02 but you never know figured i would see what you guys say first

02 sensors have zero effect on the air bag light.

hook up freescan or datamaster to get a reading on your o2 milivolts. When mine have gone bad I never got a light for some odd reason. I had a scanmaster that I monitored religiously so I could see what was going on.

i had the same problem,but also my low trac light and brake light blinked all the time.

The grounds are loose or have a bad connection. Go under the hood on the passenger side, u sill see the abs ground tighten it, or scratch some of the paint away then tighten it. Solved my problems

No that's your junction box! Those are hot! There is a ground just to the right of your headlight. There should also be some grounds just to the left of your junction box. Not sure which ones those are cuz I never traced them.
