My dad noticed the air bag warning light flashing on and off at random shortly before he died. Once I was given it as a gift by him in his last will, I experienced the same activity with the light, "and" now have no horn and the headlights sometimes flash on and off like their is a short in the electrical system...not sure if the airbag currently functions or not!
