    Air bag light is blinking

    Well depending on your mentality..... The reason the fuse went was a fail safe because the module detected a short and wanted to prevent the air bag going off in your face. Id research it more but for now I believe your only true problem is that your air bag is totally disabled. Me.....id leave...

    Pep Boys

    All im saying is they are big enough that its easy to slip through the cracks, but small enough that they dont have security for the parking lots. They are adding cameras to outside the service bays however to most locations. You can see the cameras easily, the cameras are only directed at...

    Air bag light is blinking

    Yea, looks like the root of the problem is a bad ground. I hate tracing electrical problems especially if its a short or wire, so I dont have much advice on that, other than finding that first.

    Simple set-up/Advice

    Instead of buying a battery isolator, would you be able to just use a cutoff switch? Battery connected while driving to charge, and then switch to disconnected when parked and drawing from house battery? Im cheap lol

    Adult RUNAWAYS?

    For me I feel that the rat race will always be there, and it cannot get any worse than it was so might as well roll the dice and give this a shot. Either get lucky or at the least it was fun while it lasted and just return to the shit storm no worse off than I was.
