Check guages with no blower

[Blue Maltese]

I started my 01 TJ and the red no-guages indicator lit up and the AC blower motor wouldn't work. I shut off the jeep and started it up again. Then everything worked normal. The yellow words "Check Gauges" didn't come on, just the red symbol. It has happened several times now. One of my blower speeds doesn't work. Could the resistor or blower switch be causing this issue?

I would check the ignition switch harness and wiring looking for loose connections and signs of overheating...

Thanks. I'll do that.

I just found out my red symbol that lights up is for the air bag. Not part of the Check Gauges warning. So let me rephrase my issue.
Sometimes when i start my 2001 TJ the blower motor doesn't work and the Air Bag symbol on the dash lights up. I shut off the Jeep and restart it and everything returns to normal.
Anyone got any idea's?

The contacts inside the ignition switch power up the blower motor and several other circuits; as I recommended earlier.... check the ignition switch, harness and wiring for signs of overheating and loose connections. There could be problems starting with the contacts inside the ignition switch.

I will CharlesHS, but Damn, I was hoping someone would say "Oh! That's just the Airbag Switch, just turn it off and on!" or something else simple....HaHaHa. I suppose I should disconnect my battery first so i don't short out my ECU if I accidentally wiggle something wrong.
