[V8] Airbag light

[Buchholz, Steven]

... I've had the battery disconnected for extended periods in both cars ...
no abnormal activity of the airbag light on either car.  I just did the
starter on #2 ... still no issues with the airbag.  Have you had the airbag
recall on the car ... if not, perhaps the power source is running down ...
