Airbag Light?
So my buddy was sitting shotgun and dropped his wallet and was fidgeting under the seat and since that day i noticed my airbag light stays on on my dash. Is this a malfunction or could it be a sensor or button he pushed or is it just coincidence? Any tips much appreciated.

Well, a lot of cars show that airbag light to let you know that it is disengaged when there is no ass in the seat...

Check wiring under the seat to see if anything is loose. I had something similar happen, turned out the connector was loose.

Reconnect the wiring harness. Bet it's loose.

Mine went off when my battery died...Dealer reset it for free...I think you can reset the light with the durametric cable as well...

Maybe he slipped it a $20 to stay on.

Offer it $50 to shut off.
