Air bags and E-brakes

[LindsayInCali]

Hi guys,

My 80 is ten years old and I noticed that there is a warning to have the air bags checked. I did a search and found one good thread, but it didin't really say WHAT happens or how vital it is. Could maybe the Cruiser Dan tell me what happens during this service? My Airbag dash light does come on and then go off at startup.

Also, I'm hoping you can help with my e-brake (parking brake). There's none there...I can yank the handle up and nothing happens. I went under and checked and pulling the handle does move the cables to the rear wheels. I took off the console and adjusted the two nuts, but nothing. Do you think the e-brake pads are simply fried?

Thanks all!

Lindsay

Are you referring to the sticker? Or are you getting the light coming on other than before you start the motor ro some other warning?
