My air bag light is on in my 99 l wagon. It used to come on then i would restart the car and it would go off. Now it stays on all the time.

Anybody have any ideas on what the problem could be? I checked the airbag connection in the steering wheel and it looked alright to me.

Some things that might be a factor. I was rear ended last winter, there was no damage, my bumper cover only got a scratch.

My dad was thinking maybe a ground wire rotted off.

i know there is one under the drivers seat. well there was one on my old 2000 legacygt.

what does the fuse look like? dirty connections maybe

does your horn work? it could be the roll connector.

Most likely the clock spring/roll connector. The horn will stop working next, lol. Its not difficult to change, but they aren't cheap unless you find a low mileage used one.

I checked my fuses and they all look alright. I didnt see any wires for the air bag under my seat. I'll look to change my clock spring next.

BEST SOLUTION is to actually bring it to a reputable shop and have a diagnosis check. have them figure out what the problem. most likely you would pay 1 hr of labor but you know exactly whats wrong. instead of r and r'ing the wrong part.

then go ahead and fix whats wrong yourself

+1. and if you screw something up with the air bags... i bet its big money, not work the risk IMO.
