Any ideas? Once the engine starts on by tiburon 2003 GT, the air bag console light always turns off in a few secs. This week it stays on while I'm driving. Disconnecting the Negative ground on the battery did not fix the problem.

you cant mess about with this yourself, it might just be a bad connection under the seat but it will need to be checked out on the hyundai scanner to pin point the exact fault, don't try and do it yourself due to the danger of an air bag deploying

Sound advice. Thanks for the quick reply.

Dear dragon,

Don't laugh...but do check under your seats for a flashlight rolling around, maybe a first aid kit or even a bottle of water. I had the same problem in a 2003 Tib GT. The dealer could not find the cause, I kept bringing the car back, until the last time I did not take out all of my person items. The dealer diagnosed a flashlight rolling against the connection coupler under the seat, and knocking it slightly loose.

Put the flashlight in my glove box, and have not had the airbag light on since.

If you do find you have a personal item rolling and striking the coupler under the seat, you can push the two pieces back together but do not disconnect them. Only let a dealer do that as he will make sure everything is grounded before opening that coupler. The air bag cartridge is very sensitive to stray electricity.
