No incident as of yet my air bag light on a ND there is ticking from the passenger side of the compartment glove box and the drivers seat moves when coming to a stop
My TPS light has been on for quite some time and after a short time since the first time it appeared my issue worsens everyday. My car STALLS, not only when I am stopped at a light, but even when I am driving at high speeds and the Check Engine light stays on all the time and blinks and dings at times and now the airbag light is on as well and blinks and dings all the time while the car is started. I took the car to get check for error codes, but none come up when the diagnostics is ran.
I was sitting in the driver's seat with seat belt buckle up around myself with nothing else in the car besides myself and the airbag light came on the dash panel. It's stays on everytime I start the car and been that way for maybe little over a year.
Air bag light on dash is on. Meaning air bag is not operational.
Horn stopped working and airbag light is on. It stop working while I tried pressing on the horn while driving.
