air bag light keeps staying on. It has done this for over two years now but new legislation in the UK means it needs to be investigated. I did have the RAC look at it but they said there was no problem. Dont know if you have to remove the dash board to investigate or you have a computer check made on. Also I have problem with the brake light not coming on. They say that this could be to do with the wiring. It comes on sometimes

Seat belt latches are a common reason for airbag lights... but a simple scan will tell you what area to look at.

Brake light switches are a common failure item.
