Okay guys need some help please!

i bought my used truck wth 157,000. Basically just cosmetic issues.

Just now I'm standing at a light when suddenly my door unlock! And the airbag light goes on, on my cluster!

What should I do? I read a lot of threads on this forum and haven't heard that happening to anyone!

Just got to work. Turned car off and on and seems to be back to normal. So weird. Any thoughts!

Drive the car home today after work and it's like nothing never happened! Any suggestions?

So not knowing the year it seems to me to be a sensor malfunction. Airbag lights can mean a lot of things depending on the vehicle. My first guess is a sensor error (did you wash it recently?) Only reason I ask is depending on any corrosion under the hood and a potential short. My Miata has crazy headlights that pop up and down after washing and I still can't track that one down.

This was pretty much 40 minutes after a car wash that morning!

I wonder if it is one of the impact sensors in the front bumpers? Apparently a left and right one and #10. Not sure of exact location.

No clue, do you guys think I could just keep driving it and hope this never happens again and just ask the dealer to check it out at my next big maintenance (hoping they won't charge extra for this) or a regular mechanic? I feel like a regular mechanic will say nothing is wrong and just keep driving it...

Would the computer store the sensor location that was tripped and restored? Worth a shot to get it scanned.
