hi there,
got in the car this morning and the lights on the dash are going crazy.
the airbag light wont go away and sometime the door lights will keep flash and go away after a while and the TRC and ABS light will keep flashing but they went away once i strted the car. the car drives perfect without any problems.
any idea why that is?

I was going to say the same as Stav. It does sound like water causing havoc with the electrics, and with all the rain we've had recently it would kind of make sense.

Try having a look at both footwell fuseboxes and see if you can see signs of water getting in there. It might still be wet given how much it has rained.

If you do find water, then you can try and dry things out with a hairdryer, and inspect the fuse board for corrosion.

But if this is the problem, you'll still need to fix the source, i.e. the water leak itself, which is presumably getting in around your windscreen somewhere.

Actually, looking again at what lights are flashing etc, it could be the main fuse box in the engine compartment that has got water in it. That's where a lot of the fuses/relays for ABS/TRC etc are located, so it would be worth checking that as well. But the footwells still seem more likely to me.
