AIR BAG LIGHT!!! 97-01 Camry - 9/27/2006 11:50:07 PM    JanSport40   Posts: 28 Joined: 9/27/2006 Status: offline 98 Camry LE... Ok I don't know if this is a know problem with this particular model year, but recently my 98 camry airbag light has been on and its weird because sometimes it will go off about 5 minutes or so and then sometimes it will blink and again it will come on regularly when I start up the car for a 3 seconds and then go off (normal) for that ofcourse, but other than that its strange. Is this a reminder light to get my airbag serviced for its 10 years? Now I have been messing with the instrument cluster here and there fixing blown out light bulbs and fixing the "D" shift indicator light for some reason that it keeps popping out don't know why exactly, but it has been replaced is what I'm saying with a new bulb. Anyway I thought it could be a short maybe from pulling it out too much, but I doubt it and I've checked all the wires and connections and they seem fine. Anyone has this problem with their camry with the airbag light? Post #: 1

I'd assume its something electrical due to your having to change those light bulbs etc. maybe its all connected. (in reply to JanSport40) Post #: 2

This sucks.  It's very un-nerving seeing that light on! Anyone else have any ideas? (in reply to lavalleemike) Post #: 5

I hate that this is happened. BMW's have problems with there air bag systems too. Every bmw I've seen had there airbag lights on. (in reply to kwtrading) Post #: 6
