My air bag light came on and stays on. I pulled codes and didn't find any.
Any suggestions where to start looking?
Thanks

sometimes the clockspring goes out and it will not show a code most of the time. Usually you have to check the resistance. you would have to look up and see what the resistance values are supposed to be. IF they measure out of range then you know you have a problem with it.

Same here. Dealer says clockspring, and wants $300+. I think I'll live with it for now.

I take it you can get them? It sounds like you have some takers. Installation is pretty straight forward. Let us know.

Sal, cant go wrong with Chuck. Just a great guy to deal with. And really knows his stuff.
Trust me I know. Already sent him a PM.
Liked your bulb replacement thread. Just time consuming as you found out. Wonder what the dealer would charge to change a dash bulb. Glad you went for it and learned more about your car.

Is the installation something even an idiot like me can do?

Depends on how big an idiot you are
Seriously, it's pretty easy, maybe 40 minutes.

Found the problem. It was the passenger seatbelt monitor was unplugged under the seat. Those of you with lights on may check those first before proceeding or taking it to the dealer.

You beat me to the punch. Just had exact same issue on my 08 and dealer traced it to passenger seat belt connector. Fixed in a jiffy.

I have the same problem. Just started yesterday. I slid both seats forward to vacuum behind them for the first time in three years of ownership. I'll let you know if it fixed my problem as well.

Bingo! Problem solved. My drivers side was disconnected. Thanks Black Moon.

OK, there's one each under each seat? I'll have to check it out.

I have the same issue on my 08, guess I'll have to check all the connections under my seats!

Definately do so before spending $$$ at the dealer. It should be the only wire going into the seat and has a white connector. Slide the seat forward and you should see it or at least feel it under there. Let us know.

Well, I checked the connections under both seats, they seemed tight, and airbag light is still on (although it goes off briefly when the car is started). I guess it's my clockspring after all.
Would unplugging and re-plugging the connectors work, I wonder? Figures out of all the guys here who were disconnected, I would be the one where it wouldn't work.

Is it throwing a code? You could try disconnecting the battery for a few minutes and see if it reappears. besides that I have no useful suggestions.
Keep us posted.
