I'm using voice recognition subtypes the wrong word use your imagination.
Our airbag light was on in our van, so I researched a little a friend of mine Bob told me that airbag wiring was all yellow. Then I read online about the sensors under the front seats. From folks in the back seats taken their feet up under the front seats, maybe things you stored under the seats, or vacuuming under the front seats. Anyway, check the connectors with yellow wires. Check to make sure that a wire didn't pull out from the connector. Make sure water didn't get in there. I am happy to announce we now have working airbags. If anyone has any automotive questions, ask away. I don't know everything, but I'm no slouch either.

And can someone please make it so I don't have to type those damn words at the bottom I'm not a spammer. I'm legally blind no joke I really am and it makes it harder on me than it should be

a blast from the past.
the days when the ground shook at red lights.
and plugs fouled out.
then 20 more cubes to make up for less compression.
the 360 is born.

There shouldn't be any airbag wires under the front seats, especially loose ones.

Airbags aren't really something you can self-diagnose. You'll need to take it in, preferably to a dealer for this issue.

Hey Will

I have a question ... along the rubber seals at the bottom of my windows I seem to be getting a build up of green algae, or something like that.

Any tips on getting rid of it? I don't want to use anything too abrasive in case it damages either the rubber or runs onto the paintwork and damages that.

the airbags need to know if someone is sitting in the seat newer bags calculate how much the person weighs. There is also a sensor to let the airbag notice seatbelt is buckled. That is why there are yellow wires under the front seats. Those you can plug together without bringing it to the dealership. If you airbag light is on it's an easy check and saves you money. Before getting into any gyros sensors, disconnect the battery.

Vegetation killer? Petroleum jelly is said to help the rubber seal. kerosene can make rubber swell.

Are you driving a van or the Batmobile?

That's crazy.
