2002 lincoln ls , air bag warning light continues to stay on. Have had to drive car for 3 yrs like this while having fear of air bag not working in case of an accident. 3 mechanics have tried to fix and it only turns off for a few min.s after they attempt a fix with the wiring. The mileage then began about 80,007. About 1.5 yr ago (may 2014) my AC /heater core fluid began leaking. It worsened when AC was turned high, took about 2 months before burning smell was continuously coming from engine after running AC and fluid was always dripping. 6 months (jan 2016) ago my brake pedal began fluttering when depressed. I had the control arms, ball joints and brakes/rotors replaced. The brake pedal still flutters when slowing from 30 MPH quickly. My lincoln ls mileage is 86,605

It stays on and sometimes while driving the airbag chimes just keeps right on chiming forever. Does this mean that I am not protected by my air bags.

Don't let me or my greatgrand kids die because of this airbag problem. I am appealing to you to help be get this problem corrected before it's too late. Thank you for your help.
