Red face AIR bag light lighting up ?

I need help with my air bag light comes on when turning high beam lights on. It will stay on until I restart the engine. Air bag has never gone off before. Can this be caused by poor ground??
Thanks

When I over spun my alternator doing an 1/8 mile long burnout, ultimately ruining the alternator, my airbag light popped up shortly after during the ride home, coincidentally at night with the headlights on. Airbag light would flash on and off until I replaced the alternator a few days later. I wouldn't jump to conclusions just yet as my car is an X308, but if it becomes a mystery down the line it may be something to consider. Might want to check baseline battery voltage first.

check your center clock spring, located within your steering wheel.
