Default Passenger Side Airbag Light

Hi my airbag light always lights up when i start it up and after about 5 seconds it turns back off so i tried turning it on/off (dont know which) and it did the same thing. Is something messed up or am I doing something wrong? Thanks

No that is exactly what they are suppose to do, it is the self test upon power on.

Well, it comes on when I start it up? I can only turn it right (dont know if thats normal) But yeah it does the exact same thing everytime so I can't really tell which is which.

What year, engine, style? I will look at the wiring diagram and see if it makes sense.

Well this doesn't help, it doesn't show the switch operation, but just from experience most airbag switch operate off=counter clockwise, on=clockwise. But here is the diagram.
