No, this is not a belated April fool's joke! Even tho it sounds like one.
When I start my '98 XJ, 4.0L, AW4, 4wd, the airbag light comes on momentarily, goes out after a bit, then comes back on after about a minute pause, stays on for another four or five minutes then goes off.
But that's not all:
Now this is no sh*t: During the time that it is on, my rear gate wiper won't work. When the airbag light finally goes out, I can then and only then run the wiper.
WTF?
In all other respects, particularly of the electrical items on the Jeep, all is normal, including, inter alia the front wipers. I have pored over the wiring diagrams in the FSM and find no commonality between the airbag and rear wiper circuits.
Has this happened to anyone else and if yes, how'd you fix it. Oh -- and the grounds all seem tight and otherwise secure.
PS: I don't care whether you would just ignore the airbag light. I have a close friend who would have left our planet a bit early but for the airbag. I want mine to work.
