Help with Air Bag Light

[00ZincStripes]

Can someone please help with clearing/resetting the air bag light.

Here's the background. I changed my heater core last, and in the process, had to unbolt the steering shaft from the column (not to mention all the other work needed to do that PIA job). Now the air bag light stays on at all times. It doesn't flash or anything, it just stays on solid. I tried unplugging the battery, resetting the mils using AutoTap, etc. Nothing worked.

One other thing, the horn works fine. So I'm assuming it's not the clock spring that I read about in many posts when doing a search on the subject.

Any ideas?

anyone?

you haven't had someone try to steal your car lately and tried to hotwire the airbag did you?

seriously, did you pinch any wires when you reinstalled it?

 

[00ZincStripes]

Nope. No one has tried to steal it. I could have pinched a wire, but I doubt it. I think something I did triggered the light, and it just needs to be reset. The problem is that I don't know how to reset it.

I have the exact same problem with my passanger side air bag. I want to fix it but i dont know how to.

Is there a separate light for the passenger side, or is there just a single light for both?

00ZincStripes, I just changed my heater core and have the same problem... its very frustrating. I don't mind not having the airbags, I just want the light to go off....

if you follow the link in my 2nd post there, I think it shows a diagram on how to do a reset.

Best of luck.

no problem, just keep in mind those pics are for a '95, but a '96 should be similar.
