Default Window switches/airbag light

So I had in interesting issue happen, yesterday I started up the Jeep an day airbag light was on and my window switches wouldnt function, never had that issue before, after I cam home and parked it I shut off the Jeep and then just put in accessory mode without starting it and my window switches started working and airbag light went off... Now I leave for work today and windows work, no airbag light but got a check engine light...still need to run the CEL but is there something common that you guys can chime in on that would cause that?

hmmm... i may be interested in this resolution, as my airbag light is on, but the horn and cruise both work fine. My driver door lock switch only locks the doors sometimes, but will always unlock them, and will operate all windows fine. but every other window switch is intermittent, and the passenger door lock switch works fine both locking and unlocking.

I assumed the problems were unrelated (locks were broke wiring in the ((assumingly)) driver's door, and the airbag light was goodness-knows-what) but perhaps they are related?

Turns out it was a random electrical anomaly after hosing down my wheels with window open, water must have gotten somewhere and caused it because it was right after that I jumped in the Jeep to go down the block and couldnt lower my windows and the airbag light was on, once I parked the vehicle and restated it the light was gone and switches were working. The check engine light ended up being a vaccum leak that I fixed today
