Air Bag Lamp

[fbca7]

I have an intermittent SRS warning lamp. It seems that when it's warm and dry (hasn't been that way in St. Louis for seems like years now), no lamp. But as soon as it is cool and damp, the air bag light stays on. Anybody else experience this and have a solution?

You may want to have the dealer check and see if this condition applies to your problem.

Good luck with it.

Thanks....as luck would have it while I was cleaning the car, I looked under the dash toward the console. Just up from the accelerator is a bright yellow insulated line marked "SRS". Turns out the connector was partially unplugged (obviously from my big feet rubbing against it when pressing on the gas). Once reconnected...light is out. I did take a big breath before pushing the connector back together picturing the worst...deployment. But, everything is fine now. Thanks for your help.
