Airbag light flashes then stays on

I'd a search but the search on the app is ****


Aight. Driving to work. After about 30 seconds on the road my sit bag light starts flashing.

It flashes, stops, flashrs, etc.
After that cycles 4-5 times it stays lit solid.
Pulled over. Turned truck off. Started up. Same deal.

Is the thing gonna blow up in my face lol
What's goin on here.

Stopped to get gas. Upon returning to the road it was gone. And didn't come back on till about 45 minutes after.

I also noticed when it happened the passenger airbag "off" switch stayed solid for the first two flashes, then stayed off.

Could this be a sensor issue?

Horn works, all. Cruise control buttons work and light up.

Maybe this is tied to your steering wheel issues you had post body lift?

Everyone kept referring back to the clock spring

your clock spring is toast.

My guess is, you shouldn't of spun the wheel without the steering shaft connected to find out where the "center" was lol

Lol. Probably. But then why would everything else that needs the clock spring still work.

And why would it take 1500 kms to happen.
