    electrical gremlins...

    so i dont know whats going with my car. nothing really just i keep getting random lights on the dashboard. the low oil light was coming on even though i had oil, so i changed the sensor. that seemed to fix that problem for a while.

    Then yesterday out of nowhere the air bag light comes on, then flashes, then stays steady, then goes away. and when it goes away then the low oil light comes back on. all the while the headlight bulb light comes on even though i have them on and they both work.

    i was wondering, are these messages controlled by the ecu? would investing in a new ecu perhaps fix this?
