My airbag light on the dashboard keeps turning on and off. Seems to depend on the weather, ie, rain and high humidity

I was merging onto interstate 69 from center road in flint, Michigan on December 22, 2012 at approximately 11:30 a.M. there was a vehicle in front of me merging at the same time. That vehicle merged in front of a Jeep and I merged behind it. The driver of the Jeep stated the vehicle merging in front of him cut him off causing him to brake hard and swerve into center lane to avoid a crash. I braked hard to avoid rear-ending the Jeep. The driver of the Jeep also stated the vehicle in the center lane swerved into the left lane causing the vehicle in the left lane to swerve off the road and upon re-entering the left lane over-corrected and slid across center lane into right lane hitting the vehicle I was driving causing it to hit the guardrail then going into 360 degree spin and coming to a stop approximately 50 feet farther along the highway against the guardrail. I was wearing my seatbelt. The airbags didn't deploy. I was injured in the crash. I have a fractured sternum and bruises to my left knee, right arm and left side of my neck.
