If an airbag light is on typically none of the airbags work. Not to go back to this argument again, but inhappen to see the airbag statistics and clearly see the risk of driving with active airbags is minimal compared to the risk of driving without airbags.
It sounds like you might have some electrical issues. Your CAM sensor, the computer issues you have, the O2 sensors, etc.
Rad probably stands for radiator.
So you're saying you've only been using the accessory fan to cool your car? Perhaps your main fan is dead?
Are you running your car without all these fuses?

Your surging coolant-
- This is probably an air pocket unless your engine in overheating, in which case that's not good news at all.
- If you're not overheating, you either need to bleed the air or find out why you have air coming in
- This is more evidence of a blown head gasket tbh. Your oil and coolant don't have to mix for there to be a blown HG. Although once it reaches that point you know you have big problems.
1. I have made It clear, I don;t car about statistics, The amount and kind of driving I do would not have me benefit from them. Slow-speed airbag deployments are more harm (from statistics) than good.
2. I think those codes were a fluke. I have unplugged both the MAP and MAF sensors doing maintenance thru the years and on of those most likely triggered the O2 Sensor code. Yanking the ECU fuse to clear the codes makes the only code in the system a Cam sensor code. Several mechanics have told me that when the cam sensor doesn't work it reads the crank sensor so not having a working cam sensor isnt even a major issue.
3. Nope, The main fan didn't work from the removal of the "RAD Control" relay. Putting that back in makes both work. Not sure how or why when the fans have seperate relays.
4. I have no power anything (other than steering, brakes), A/C has no freon, so yes I am running it without these relays/fuses. I would yank the dinger fuse so it stops nagging me like a woman when the door is open, but if I remove that fuse, it also means my radio wont work. I can also pull the fuse to stop any of the dash lights from working but i am hesitant to do that.
5. It is impossible to get air in my kind of system, the expansion tank acts as a bleeder and the air just escapes. I have bled the system properly (much different than cars with rad caps).
With any cooling related issues, don't also forget to check for a crack in the(plastic) reservoir. This will usually cause a coolant leak and boiling, but a high crack may not necessarily leak and a small crack can still maintain enough pressure to prevent all-out boiling.
I have an expansion tank. if there were leaks i would have to actually ADD coolant.
