Airbag light flashing and reset not working

Hi all,

Ok my airbag light is flashing, I've tried the reset using the door light switch and 7 times within 5 seconds etc, and it does turn off [sometimes], but then comes back on 5-10 or 20 minutes later.  Only maintenance I have done in the last few months is replace the water pump and belts etc....which has nothing to do with the airbag light.

I will remove, check, clean and replace the steering wheel and I can probably check the airbag module connections under the centre console, but otherwise I'm stumped.

Any suggestions???

Oh and forgot to say....PFC so its not the computer.

Can anyone tell me the resistor value for airbag cancellation, the one behind the steering wheel and horn button??

I get 2.3 ohms on the wire that has the resistor.....but don't know if this is a good or bad value.

OK, after much searching I have found an old thread that states 2.7 ohms.  I will see how mine reacts to a general clean up and reset but if it keeps playing up I will have to invest in a new resistor...probably all of 50 cents, might have to take out a loan.
