Q: SRS light on

asked by on February 12, 2016

The SRS light is on.

If the lights on the left side of your car are not working, then there may be one of several electrical problems. Perhaps a bulb has burned out, or a relay has malfunctioned. As this problem is probably electrical in nature, I would recommend having a professional technician inspect your SRS light in order to determine the exact cause of the problem.
