Theres a lot of sensors that go into the bag system, you will almost have to go to someone that can plug in and read the system.

Clock spring would be the first thing I would look at. Pretty common.

I'd check the air-bag sensors in the front... maybe the connections have gotten corroded or came loose.

I would, of course, do this with at least the battery disconnected. Who knows what can happen

There's an air-bag disable procedure somewhere, something to "disconnect first" - any ideas guys?

I was just curious... so I guess you're not going to check out the sensors up front yourself?
