It doesn't do it all the time but when I start my jeep the airbag light stays on and the radio doesn't come on. I'll shut it down and it goes away. I have a 1997 jeep wrangler 4 cylinder plz help
When you shut it down and the airbag lamp extinguishes after a self test, does the radio turn on then?. If it does, i would suspect that the issue is in the ignition wiring or connector.
Remove the upper and lower steering column covers. Wiggle the wires to the ignition slowly one by one and see if it's one of the wirings on the ignition switch.
