"Could be anything from a loose plus to your seat belt (like P said), to a clockspring issues, or even a sensor malfunction. Definately get it into the dealership, or have an airbag specalist look at it."
The airbag light came on, on my old truck - 96 Tacoma - and it was the clockspring ... Does your horn still work?? Mine didn't

say hypothetically the plug has been unplugged under my seat for a long time, and it didnt go off (the light) until just recently... then what?
The light would go on the first time the vehicle was started after the plug was disconnected. Someone with the correct scan tool can pull the code and tell you exactly what the problem is. Should run $75 give or take, at least in this area. Try calling a bodyshop, and asking who they use for airbag work, or try looking in the phone book. In the Portland area there are only 2 really good airbag specialist around.
Not true
at least not on my truck
say "hypothetically" the exact same thing happened to me
been unplugged forever-light came on recently
that makes two of us
I hear autozone pulls codes for free but haven`t look into it yet

Autozone does do a free diagnostic test.

Cool, thanks
I`ll try to get down there tomorrow
If I do I`ll let you know what they come up with
I tried resetting but it`s still on
I remember another thread like this but not sure what they came up with besides "take it in" or reset.
The reset worked for somebody you might try that.

If I plug the plug in will the airbag go off?
Not necessarily. You could try pluggin it back in, then disconnecting the battery for a while and see if that works. I doubt Autozone will be able to pull airbag codes, they are different the OBDII code (check engine codes). Typically you need a special scanner to pull airbag and ABS codes, which I doubt they have, but I could be wrong.
Just fyi for anyone that cares but autozone does NOT do diagnostic in California because of some stupid ass new law.
They do however rent the scanner through their rent a tool program.
I`ll find out more after I figure out how to use the thing.
Any help on where the port is????

Autozone will still pull the code on their scan tool (at least in UT). But, last time I was in there (different vehicle) they wouldn't decipher the code for me (liability BS). Just get the code if you can and Google or it, or better yet search to see if somebody's posted them around here somewhere.
He wouldn`t even hook it up to my truck
Something must have happened
YEAH! like the dealers and shops found out they were doing it for free and sued them to make them stop
Welcome to California
the land of the FEE
More likely some dumbass pricked his finger while doing the recommended repair after they pulled the code and sued them
or some unscrupulous prick took some pos car in and had them hook up the scanner then blamed them for everything that was wrong with his car and sued them
or said "thanks for hooking your scanner thingy up to my car now I have proof" then drove out of the parking lot and purposely crashed it, blamed it on the free diagnostic and sued them
Whatever, I`ll pull the code myself and if not, try the dealer.
