If the airbag light is flashing, it may just be in diagnostic mode, and in actuality you may not have anything wrong...... i had a similar problem on my car........ Im not sure about the Js, but on the Qs, all you have to do to switch modes is turn the ignition switch to ON, and then press the door switch 5 times within 10 seconds of turing on the ignition.......

The drivers side door switch is <while looking at the door FRAME> is the little black thing on the bottom right, with a little black nubbin covered by a rubber boot..........

Dont worry dude, I posted a thread on it too...... It is weird, it will randomly go into diag mode, and even if you let it sit overnight with the battery disconnected, it wont stop...... It has come up on me 2 times in the 4months ive had my Q!!

Always glad to help :)

Well that means that it is flashing because of a problem...... Without having a service manual, it would be next to impossible to figure out over the board..... If you need a manual, email me off board!

If it is solid (not flashing, but on), it is the fuse......
