Airbag light stays on dashbord

[swidd]

Yep :-)

I just ordered the clockspring before even checking the codes, because the symptoms were such a perfect match to what CTScott described in the various threads.

Reading codes was tricky; I believe the best method (which I didn't do) is to remove the little box above the ODB port, and insert paper clips from above. I connected crocodile clamps with wires to the paper clips so I could short it while also sitting in a position to see the codes flash on the dashboard. And note that even if 51 is the code for clockspring (and some other possibilities), I had two unrelated codes that also went away after replacing the clockspring.
