Hi, I have a 2005 93 Aero. It has approx 75,000 miles on the clock. The Airbag malfunction warning appeared on the SID the other day and will not switch off. I started the car this morning and the light went out however as soon as i turned the steering wheel the light came on again. Could anyone point me in the right direction? Thank you in advance.
