Just kidding, it's one of the first results in my initial Google search.
For a while now, I've heard a couple electrical-sounding clicks (a la the video) when I turn the key two notches in my '93. Also for a while now, my airbag light has flashed in intervals of four during colder weather (this means one of the four airbag sensors is bad, when the light is flashing). But just now—it's balls cold and my outside-resident car sees a lot of condensation—the click is constant when the key is turned two notches OR the motor is running, kind of like in the video but a slightly slower (but still rhythmic).
My dad brought the car to Mazda maybe a year ago for this, but the problem didn't surface. They checked the airbag sensor in question (the D sensor IIRC) and said it was fine. However, it's clearly not.
It's nice to know the clicking and the airbag light are one and the same problem though. Maybe I should bring the car in now while it's cold and the technicians will see something is wrong. I've read about the D sensor and it's a real pain to access so I'd rather have them do it.
EDIT: I just went out there and did it again, no clicks. Maybe because the car is warmed up a little from the first time... It's certainly temperature dependent.
