Default 2005 Honda Accord LX 2.4L AT

I have a 2005 Honda Accord LX 4-Dr 2.4L Automatic, 89K miles. I have 2 problems that I need help with:
1) My battery kept going dead & cannot start @ all ; I had to use jump cable to start my car. I bought my battery in 10/2009 @ Walmart with 4 years warranty so I took my car to Walmart, after they checked the battery and said the battery is working fine but cables were loose so they tightened them up & drove it no problems until today, the battery went dead again.
2) there is red light indicator appeared on instruments panel with picture "AIRBAG".
If anyone can help me on these 2 problems, I really appreciate. Thanks in advance.

welcome to forum.


#1 - sounds like battery isn't being recharged.
found Sears will test your car elctrical system for $15 or free (can't recall) and was good resource for me when travelling on schedule.



#2 - family has driven Dodge van for 170,000 with the airbag light on ... so I didn't care.

It might be a loose/dirty/corroded connection at the OTHER end of the battery cables. Still, if someplace like AutoZone can check it out for free, go for it.
