Default blinking airbag light? wtf!

ok 90+ guys with the airbags... i was driving in the rain on the interstate last night, and i just happend to look to see how fast i was going and my airbag light was on and flashing. it flashed for about 30 sec and stayed out. now i did a 5.0 swap on it about 2 years ago and when i first bought the car it would do this every once in a while(like once every 2 months). idk if my bag is fcked or maybe a crash sensor is bad. the car have never been wrecked, not even a slight fender bender. anyone know whats going on or give me some advice before i change the bag?

Since you did an engine swap I'm assuming you had the front end taken apart? I'm guessing either the airbag deployment sensor by in the bumper is not properly grounding or a wire is loose. Rain + 30seconds of flashing and intermitent issues lead me to this conclusion.

Blinking airbag light usually is the clock spring going/gone bad. Might be something else if its not doing it all the time..
