Almost bought a 99 today w/68k but it CEL was on and the airbag light was on?

Guy said the battery was drained due to a door being left on.
Had to jump it.
Then they came on supposedly??? He's a dealer.

Could/would this cause the dash lights to come on???

Help!! Anybody know whats going on?

I need a van

I posted what I want on FS/WTB page

Any help would be great-

Thanks

Well dead batteries can do weird things. But it's a dealer right? Both these things produce codes that can be read in the service dept. They can also be reset not to come on again until later. What kind of warranty are they offering. If they will sell it "certified" you can get repairs at any dealer later. If they seem sleazy to you it might be a good way to go.

The airbag light will get set if the battery voltage drops below 9V but the airbag light and CEL light are not linked. The van may have to seperate problems.

You may want to get a CARFAX report on this van if you are still interested in getting it. It may be the best $20 you spend and you may discover some history that your not being told by the dealer.

........Good Luck in your hunt

I'm sorry forgive my ignorance what is CEL? I had my airbag light come on once and it was because my + battery cable was corroded. good luck!
