Airbag harness on 2001 s-type jaguar has been repaired but light on dash keeps coming on after repair has been made when repair warranty has expired. I have had the same issue repaired twice, first time the airbag light came on 3 months after repair; second time airbag light came on 13 months after repair. Intermittent beeps started 6 months after repair but no light on the dash appeared. I noticed the beeps I heard before the airbag icon lit up on my dash keeps timing with the flashing airbag light I now see.
