Here's a site that will explain everything you need to know about airbag systems, airbag lights and resetting the system. It shows you the location of the components and the procedure for diagnosing and resetting airbag lights. http://www.airbagsolutions.com/ You can check to see if your car is listed here. http://www.airbagsolutions.com/vehicles_list.aspx If the light is flashing on your car it's telling you there's a problem. On some vehicles, the light is flashing a two digit code. Once you know the code, you can most likely repair it yourself. There are fairly easy procedures that most people are capable of repairing. Airbagsolutions.com has the fault code charts to tell you what is wrong and how to fix it! Some vehicle manufacturers let you access and reset systems without a scanner (like Toyota, Lexus, Nissan, Infinity, Honda, Acura, Ford, Lincoln, Mazda & Mercury) and some require a scan tool. Although it's a pay site ($14.95/day), it's a lot cheaper than going to the dealer

There are four airbag sensors in a 2005 Suburban. There are two under each seat, and two at the bottom of the radiator supports, under the hood. They are yellow tags that are visual.
if the light is on the airbags are off-line (not working)

A person can reset the Airbag light in this car by fixing the problem that caused it to turn on. They can also use an OBD scanner and clear the codes on it.
Usually an airbag light blinks to signal a problem. The number of blinks tells the driver the code number, which informs the driver of the problem.
The clockspring is the part that turns your turn signals off when the turn is completed or that warns you if your turn signals have stayed on too long. It also serves as the conduit electrically to activate your drivers side airbag in a crash. If your turn signals do not turn off the clockspring is probably the problem. If you get an airbag light that stays on all the time it COULDbe the clockspring but could also be something else in the circuit as well.
If there is not a specific keyed switch to do this installed in your vehicle YOU SHOULD NOT TAMPER WITH YOUR AIRBAG! If you are removing the airbag assembly you should ensure that the battery is disconnected and there is no power of any kind running to the electrical system of the vehicle. The consequences of jerking around with an airbag could be fatal. TAKE THE CAR TO THE DEALER!
i would not recommend it
This was already answered for me in another post. It was the ignition switch.
There is no procedure without disabling the entire airbag system because there is no legitimate reason to do so.
The anti-lock brake system in some vehicles can malfunction and cause an your motor to lock up.
