When you say "come on" do you mean the SRS light comes on for about 15
seconds, or that it lights up and stays lit while you drive across
town? Former is the expected behavior, latter is not.

Have you had any incredibly hard braking event? Actually, the g
forces would have to be pretty stout, enough so that your belts would
probably also be complaining.

It could be a number of things, like loose connector, iffy black box,
iffy ignitor (hmm, rather it didn't work rather than suddenly "work")
or maybe a sensor.
