The airbag indicator stayed on when I started the outback. I drove it for 10 minutes, it stayed on. Turned off the car, started it up, and the light went off in the normal 5 or so seconds.

I have the Gold Warranty, called the dealer, I'll bring it in on Monday.

Will a fault code be stored in the computer?

I did have the roof rack replaced due to pealing paint this week. Wondering if any of the harnessing from the seat belts could have been affected when the roof liner was dropped.

I might not take it in unless it happens again.

Any other odd problems? How old is the battery?

the battery is the original. I bought the Gold Warranty for what its worth.

batteries do last much longer where you live than down here - but I have had spurious codes set twice in the wife's car due to a bad cell in a battery.

nothing wrong with taking the car in if it's convenient.

cool - so maybe Joe could push on/tap the unit and see if it flickers? Or just take it out and inspect it.

Reminds me of the Foresters with the bad clock.

Except this failure is safety related.

It's worth a try; however, checking for a flicker when tapping the unit might not give the same result, even though the problem is the same.

If the other symptoms are the same, it might be worth popping the board out to check the solder connections.
