   I have a noise coming from the passenger side airbag... it does once the ignition is ok (car not started) it is like there is a small motor or somthing.. with 3 second pulses stops and starts... any idea ?

   Could it be a relay behind it?, I doubt it's the airbag as that just an explosive basically

   Unplug your battery for 10mins & check the connections mate on the airbag.

   well, it turns out that the sound is from the heater behind the airbag... even when heater is off it is still not fully off still giving out some air...that is making the sounds. any ideas ?????

   Possibly some debris like a leaf in the air ducts.
