If the airbag light is on, it's probly a loose connection behind the gauge, but it can still be a loose connection without a light. Can you make it jump when you're driving and you smack the dashboard?

Check connection at speed sensor. I had one go out one time and it gave me some wierd readings. As mentioned hit the dash also and see if it changes. Not to hard though, its only plastic lmao.gif
