I bought the car new about 2 weeks ago. I traded in a 1985 Volvo 240 DL sedan that I had for 6 years so I'm not used to all this airbag stuff. Anyways..I noticed that there is a front passenger light that says "Airbag" that stays on all the time when the key is on. There are also other lights in this cluster that are not lit up ("Off", "On", front seatbelt). According to the owners manual it is not supposed to be on. I talked to a mechanic at the local dealer and he said the same thing. Car is parked and key in "On" position: If I sit in the front passenger seat (no seat belt) the "Airbag" light stays on and the "On" light comes on. The "On" light goes out when I get out of the seat. "Off" light never comes on. If the seat is empty and I buckle the seatbelt the "Airbag" light stays lit and the "Off" light comes on also. Any clues as to what is going on here?
