AIRBAG LIGHTS COMING ON IN JAGUAR XK8 2006 BETWEEN JANUARY 2009 AND MAY 2009. WE TOOK THE CAR IN 4 TIMES FOR AIRBAG LIGHTS COMING ON (EACH TIME "REPAIRED"). EACH TIME THE CONNECTIONS WERE "CORRECTED". THE FIRST TIME REPLACED A BLOWN FUSE; THE SECOND TIME THE SYSTEM WAS NOT COMMUNICATING AND REPLACED A POWER FUSE; THE THIRD TIME PARTS WERE ORDERED AND THEN LATER REPLACED BLOWN FUSE AND THE SEAT HARNESS. (THE CAR ONLY HAD ONLY 18,814 MILES ON IT WHEN THE LIGHT PROBLEMS BEGAN.) ON MAY 9, 2009, THE DRIVER SEAT AIRBAG HARNESS WAS REPLACED. IN MARCH 2010, THE AIRBAG LIGHTS CAME ON AGAIN. ANOTHER HARNESS WAS ORDERED. ON MAY 9, 2009, THE DRIVER SEAT AIRBAG DEPLOYED WHILE THE ENGINE WAS ON, BUT THE CAR WAS IN PARK. AFTER MUCH INVESTIGATION, THE HARNESS WAS AGAIN REPLACED (AND THE DRIVER SEAT WAS REPAIRED). *TR
