There may be some reasons of coming the airbag light on your PT Cruiser. Some connectors could be loose under seats or sensor of steering wheel could fail. However it is really rear. Your problem is probably caused by common problem in PT Cruisers - by broken wire on driver's seat.
Before you start doing anything disconnect a car battery. After 15 minutes remove a plastic panel from the seat (the one you can see when you open your door). Than you will see a wire in plastic cover. It connects an airbag in your seat and yellow connector under the seat. The wire breaks near to the second plastic T-shaped part (looking from the top of the seat backrest). It is located where is a pooling line and rising seat connector wire - somewhere in the center of lenght of the seat. Put the seat backrest to the vertical position, push up the black plastic cube of the line to remove it and have some room to repair the wire, cut a cloth tape. You should have ***** white and red wires. Inspect the wire about 1,5 inch from the center of the place where was the center of the T-shaped plastic keeper. The wire outside will be looking as new, but coper lines inside used to be broken. Strech slightly one by one of the 2 wires. When you find the break just cut the plastic cover in that place, remove 0,25 inch of the cover from each of cut end of wire and twist the ends or put extra 2 inch insert of the same wire. Wrap the coper wires in insulating tape neatly and tape all of the wires together with the T-shaped plastic keeper. Put on place the line udjusting a backrest of the seat, the keeper and plastic cover of the seat. Connect a battery and check it.
If you are not sure where is the place whre the wire could be broken, it is exactly 30 centimetres from the connector of the airbag. TomasS

needs a battery but be careful cause sometimes a bad alternater will cause the battery to go bad
SOURCE: electrical problem; while driving door ajar light comes on
it may be one of several things ...but sounds like the door switch is not completely engaging or it does and after either hitting a bump or just turning the corner it will break contact just enough to let the vehicle think its either open and then shut ...
in other words if you open the door and try using maby a piece of rubber hose and add it to the switch just a tiny piece or if there is an adjustment present to allow the switch to fully complete the circuit it should stop
as soon as you said the interior lights come on should have been a clue to the issue and being made of plastic they tend to wear bend and cause an issue as such .. on some vehicles there is a door panel that has a plastic stopper that meets the switch if yours is like that consider removing the retaining {plastic} insert screw and put a washer behind it to allow the 2 to meet at a shorter throw ..i hope you understand that .otherwise adjust the door switch if possible if that is not possible try a piece of cardboard temporiarily on all doors until you can decide if this remedies the issue and it should if so then consider replacing the switch or switches upon ensuring this is your issue
