So, I have this new issue that came out of nowhere this morning. While driving down the freeway on my way to work at about 65 mph, my air bag light came on. After the ding and a few seconds it turned off. Then about 30 seconds later it did the same thing. At that point I was watching the dashboard more and more and I noticed that the light would flicker every once in a while before the ding even had a chance to render itself into the picture. This repeated randomly while driving on the freeway, and only on the freeway / accelerating to freeway speeds so far. While driving in town I haven't had it happen. Sometimes it will come on, ding, and stay on for a couple of seconds, but I have yet to have it stay lit for more than about 5 seconds or so.
What's interesting about it is during one point I witnessed my speedometer go from 68 to 0 back to 68 again, as if it was resetting itself. It only ever did that once. I was thinking maybe speed sensor issue could be telling the airbag computer something to turn itself off? I don't know.
I've read into the clockspring etc., but it doesn't happen while I'm turning and all of the other steering wheel functions work (Cruise and Horn).
Any Ideas? Thanks!
