Also, the airbag light will stay on and occasionally my entire panel, gas gauge, fuel, oil level, etc. will be dead. I then can turn the air on and then off, and everything goes back to normal, but the check engine light.
I am driving a 1998 Jeep Cherokee Sport with 127 K.

The 98 has ODBII, you can get code tester ($100), but your problem is probably the NSS, a common problem problem on this model. It can be rebuilt in a couple of hours or replaced at the dealer for about $500. I rebuilt mine..also the back up lights stops working at times because of this. My 97 started doing this at 110K and I fixed it 6 months ago. Airbag lite is the airbag module which is a recall item at Jeep Chrysler. Mine was replaced for free at 70K. It gets mounted higher in the console area to prevent water ingess and corrorsion.
There are other posts on this site about these two issues.
