Default ABS and Airbag lights won't go off..

I have a 97 jimmy and for the last few months the airbag light has stayed on and intermittently goes off but eventually comes back on. Here recently now the ABS light has been on and all my interior dash lights are not lit anymore. What could be going wrong and how can I fix it?

First a WARNING airbags are nothing to fool with unless you have experience with them. If they deploy while your messing with something your in for a major repair bill or possible injury.
But what comes to my mind is a loose ground or a relay or fuse that needs to be pulled & replaced. My ABS light keeped coming on & off. I replaced both front sensors & it still acted up so I pulled the fuses & put them back & that seems to of fixed it. The get a little corrosion or something & by pulling them you break that off & make a better contact.

Another option may be the key switch harness. My ABS light would come on, the drivers side power window would become non-op and the heater fan would turn off. I replaced the key switch wire harness (not as bad as it sounds) and all the problems went away.

Good Point worth a look for sure.
