Question
i own a 1999 mazda 323 lx (saloon). The driver and passenger airbag lights keep blinking when i am driving. How do i remedy this problem. Thanks

Answer
the airbag system will have to be checked by the dealer,this is a problem that you cannot fix yourself.do not go looking around with this system as its dangerous.it could be a sensor or may just need to be rearmed.the airbags have a computor that monitors the system,only a qualified mechanic can do this,if the lights are on then the system isnt working properly and if youre in an  accident the bags may not work.
