Re: Air bag light

If you have an Air bag light illuminated in your dash and all cruise, horn , etc located on the steering wheel are not functioning, 99% chance that the clockspring ( AKA Air bag sliding contact ) is at fault.
Repairing this takes patience because you have to remove the steering wheel and other electrical parts. If you are a little hesitant, then do not attempt. If you feel like attempting this repair, disconnect the battery and turn the headlamps "ON" for 5 minutes. This is done to kill the KAM (Keep alive memory) Failure to disconnect battery could inadvertently cause airbag deployment during repair.
Hope this helps.
