Replaced recirc door and both heater blend doors. That's a job! The steering wheel, dash, and air handler box had to be removed which meant I had to evacuate the AC system and recharge. Problem now is the airbag light stays on. It wasn't on before. There is a single 4 pin connector under the steering column that doesn't appear to go to anything. Wires are white/violet, red, white/light pink, and brown (I think). I've made sure all other connections are good and I'm pretty sure I didn't miss one. Any suggestions?

P.S. Is the airbag connector part of the big clockspring connector or is it separate?

Okay. Double checked all connections. Pulled the driver airbag to check that it was connected, it was. Pulled the glovebox and looked at the passenger airbag, it was properly connected. Disconnected and reconnected the airbag connectors under the ashtray. Still a problem. I'm beginning to believe the clock spring wiring is bad.

In other cars I've had... If you ever turn on ignition while a part/sensor of the airbag system is unplugged, it will turn the airbag trouble light on, and it will remain on until you reset it.

I didn't power it up with anything disconnected. So how do you reset it?
