I need some help with another n00b question:
I put the key in my charger this morning, turned it to on but didn't fire up the engine, just needed to open the sun roof to vent the car before getting in and hitting the road. The passenger airbag light was off. I left the key on for a few minutes, then turned it off, pulled the key, and went back into the house to finish getting the rest of my supplies for my trip. I finish putting everything in the trunk, get in, fire up the car, and the passenger air bag light on the dash is now on, to indicate the airbag has been turned off.This was strange but i thought maybe it would reset.
So, I drive to the gas station, top off with 93, and start the car again. The light comes on and stays on again. It stayed on for the entire duration of my 100+ mi trip. no other negative effects, odd sounds, or warning lights.
How in the world did I shut off the Passenger Airbag just by turning on the key?
Is this possibly a warning light for something else?
Any help appreciated. Thanks in advance!
