Air bag light keeps coming on, vehicle been in dealer shop on four occasions for repairs; each time dealer would inform consumer repairs were completed, and each time air bag light would come back on. Currently, wiring harness was replaced, but air bag check light would not come on upon starting vehicle. The dealer left the air bag unhooked during the previous repair. It was hooked back up but the light began flashing again one week later.
