What should I do if my Airbag light is on?

What should you do if your airbag light is on? Welcome to Mercie J Auto Care, where compassion and craftmanship come together, I'm Rick Smith.

Now just so you know the airbag light is a supplemental restraint system or SRS so in the event of a collision the bag deploys and helps assist the seat belt so you're better protected. Now if that lights on, that means the system is disabled or there's something wrong. I know it's very tempting to not address it because you can just continue to drive the car and it doesn't matter unless you're in an accident so I'll share with you a personal story.

I was working on my mother-in-law's car for an engine misfire problem and while I was in the bay I noticed that light was on I was tempted not to fix it cuz I was tired and too busy, but I went ahead and fixed it. I actually found a broken wire. Within a couple of months, she was in a very serious accident and it's questionable whether or not she would have survived if the airbag had not been deployed.

So if you want my advice, if you're airbag light is on, take the time to find out what's going on and get it fixed. Thanks for watching and until next time safe travels and blessings to you.
