I seriously doubt that it is the fuse. If they did blow you still have a problem.

Get the system scanned. It is the easiest and SAFEST way for you to get the problem fixed.

You don't want an airbag to go off when it shouldn't and you definitely want it to go off when needed.

 

Had the code reader do it's thing got back this info: DRIVER SQUIB 1 CIRCUIT OPEN. Looked into that and there are four or five possible issues that can cause that error..from clock spring issue to need new airbag!! found a how to on line which I can copy here if anyone is interested..a five step do this and then if no go here if yes go do this. All require a code reader and further diagnosis..probably all beyond my skills and tools.

I am not much for electrical stuff which this error seems to indicate.

 

Anyone have any suggestions..besides take to a shop??

 

Do you want to throw parts at it? Try the clockspring.

Otherwise, take it to a shop.

 

I read somewhere that the air bag light coming on is a common thing and has a recall on the part. I had to have the steering gear box changed and when they pulled the steering wheel they put new parts in and my light is off.

 

There was a recall on some clocksprings years ago.

It is unlikely that there would be a fault in the vehicle wiring unless the dash was rolled to replace a heater core or other work. The only part that does move is the clockspring. It contains multiple circuits and an individual circuit can fail.

A failed clockspring would show a squib failure.

There is no safe way to test the squibs themselves. The wrong meter can/will set off the airbag.
