Pesky airbag light

So the other day out of nowhere I notice this annoying light on my speedometer. Usually it's my DSC and runflat light, but this time it's bright red and not my low gas light. Turns out my airbag light has an affinity for telling me that it's there.

Not sure why it's on. My bump with the Dodge was about 2 weeks ago and there was no air bag light then. So why now? Anything I can check without bringing it in to the service department? I'm out of warranty and would like to save some bucks. Maybe I'll have to break out the black electrical tape!

It seems you're not the only one whose airbag light is on. Remember before the Fall Colors Tour we had? What's his name's airbag light kept flickering on and off? Also, there are a few others whom I head from whose airbag light kept coming on. I know a 1993 Ford F-150 did it! I have no idea how to cure this sickness, I know of Bill from Michiganmini, his airbag light kept coming on but the sole issue was in the wiring harness. Contact Ryephile, he has some unusual ideas and should know how to fix this.

BTW: How are things going over there? I heard it's 19 degrees Fahrenheit there! It's 28 here. Cold none the less. How's Tracy and your special needs cat doing? Keep me updated.

Adam,
You might try calling the bodyshop it could be that a connection was not made properly and the cold has caused the circuit to open. Just a thought
