You have to replace it, it is under the steering wheel in the column, the ribbon inside that carries the electricity to the airbag breaks.
When dealing with any part of the airbag system my recommendation is to take the vehicle to the dealership where a train technician can install the new airbag and reset the system. This way if you install the new airbag and the system is not reset. It may malfunction in the event of a collision or it may charge the new airbag and blowup when connected.
You find problem and fix it . then the airbag light will go off.Airbag system checks itself and if no problem is found ,light will stay off.I just fixed a 42 on mine .bad connection.There is no reset on airbag monitor system.
If the cause of the light was repaired, the light will turn itself off. The code will remain in the computer until a scan tool clears it.
something wrong with one of the airbag sensors.
yes
I believe that the airbag light staying on, is an indication that there is a problem in the airbag system. I'd get it to a mechanic to have it looked at if I were you.FriPilot
Possible answerIs the airbag idiot light illuminated on the dash? There is a recall concerning airbag/clockspring failure on the 97. My horn failed when this repair was needed. Don't have cruise control on my vehicle. AnswerThis is caused by the clock spring inside the steering wheel behind the airbag. There is a recall for this problem. Take your car to any Plymouth dealer and it will be fixed for free. Call them first so they will have the clock spring in stock.
It is important to pay attention to the warning lights in a car. When an airbag light comes on, in any manner, it means there is an issue with the airbag.
If your horn and airbag aren't working, chances are that your cruise is not working either. I have a 97 Town and Country and had the same problem. There was a factory recall on the clockspring in the steering wheel/column. The clockspring is what connects the electronics in the steering wheel to the rest of the electrical system. Go to www.chrysler.com and click where it says "recalls". Put in the last * of your VIN number and it will tell you if the work has been done. If not, call a Chrysler dealer service department and tell them about it. They'll probably ask you for the last 8 of your VIN to verify for themselves and then set you up with a time to come in and have it fixed at no charge to you.
Chrysler does not have reset switches.

That is not how you reset the check engine light. That trick can only be used to reset the airbag light (something I have had to do often). Reseting the CEL involves doing specific maneuvers with the screw on the ECU. Check out SR20forum.com
