Default Air Bag light coming on when...

Every time I floor it by airbag light comes on for a couple of seconds then goes off. Where are the connections I can check to see if they are loose?

Well your car has many many inertia (spelling) sensors that sense g forces and such... I dunno if anyone else experiences it.. but id check your air bag sensors..

I know that the Air Bag light goes on if the third brake light is out on earlier (94) models. Perhaps this is still the case and the launches are playing havoc with the wiring in your tail... Just a thought. Good luck on tracking it down. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Eek!]" src="gr_eek2.gif" />

Checked the tail light and the sensor under the console, and it still comes on. I am waiting for the air bag to pop out and smack the hell out of me, LOL. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Sad]" src="gr_sad.gif" /> Where else to check?

Mine came on after i honked the horn at some *** Fabio in his BMW Z3, he was staring at himself in the mirror. It came to be that a sensor was loose, had a buddy at the dealer reattach it for me. It flashed on and off like yours did.
