I've also had the airbag light problem, I just undid the wires under the seat and sprayed some Electric Component cleaner in and it went away, sometimes it comes back after I move the seats so Mine would seem like a bad connection.

I hope that help.

yeah, if that doesn't come on when you start your truck up, then there is your problem, i had the same happen to my 01... but not sure about the check gauge light, not throwing a code? that use to come on every once in a while on my 01, but never found out what caused it

exact same problem with mine. took it to the dealership and there was a recall on it. something with the seat belt. had it tested and it passed. light came on once after i did that. made me pissed. they said if that light is on when you get in a accident the air bag will not deploy and your well fucked lol but i have to exact same problem! move my seat and it comes on blinks and stays on. haven't seen it on though in a long time.
