Unknown Alarm
97 XK8 Alarm
This alarm has happened when I first start the car and has also happened driving down the road. I don't get any lights or message display, just the audible. (5) dings; ding..ding..ding..ding..ding, and that sequence of (5) dings repeats (5) times.......
Any ideas?

RE: Unknown Alarm
The alarm occurs only once in a while, maybe 1-2 times per week. The air bag light has been on since I got the car, I was told by the original owner they had the driver side air bag disabled do to the small size of the driver, <95 pound lady and she was afraid the air bag would cause more damage than her hitting the wheel. Do you think that was all just B-S and there is a problem with the driver side air bag? How can I re-able the air bag?

RE: Unknown Alarm
This just happened today; The same alarm occurred when I started the car. I noticed the airbag light was NOT on and stayed off all the way home, about a 10 min drive. Once home the car sat off for about 1/2 hour. I started it back up, no alarm this time and the airbag light came on after the engine started. ??????
Also I just checked the driver's side fascia fuse box. Fuse #4, 10A (airbag) is missing. The yellow fuse protector was there but no fuse. Do I need to disconnect the battery to replace the fuse? If I don't will the air bags go off?????
Holy cow.

Following up
It has been over a month now and no audible alarms and the "airbag" symbol alarm is gone also. I never had a chance to get the alarm reset. Someone told me some alarms can reset themselves after sometimes up to 80 starts. Is this possible? Any way the symptoms are gone. Maybe it is best to do nothing........
