97 Jeep Xj airbag light
This light has been driving me crazy for a while. Since the weather is better I decided to try and fix it. I checked the clock spring with a continuity test and it seems fine, but I noticed that when I start the car or turn the key to the on position that my seatbelt light goes one for a moment, and then goes off. No steatbelt buckle is plugged in. Plugging it in and out doesn't turn on the light. I'm thinking my seatbelt light is causing the airbag light to turn on.
What can cause a seatbelt light to turn off when there's no seatbelt plugged in?

You might actually check with your local Jeep stealership as well. I believe, if memory serves, that it could be a timed maintenance issue. And I want to say it's a confirmation about every 10 years(ish) cycle. Don't know if our XJ's are the same when it comes to that, but I have seen that in other vehicles before, and the stealership will just verify that all is still good and reset the light. I thought it was mandatory because of the material that the folded/non-deployed airbags are packed with. that "dust" is a special chemical that keeps it from getting damaged with all the vibration of normal driving.
Just a thought.
