It is illegal for a car dealer to sell any car with non-functioning air bags.
For new cars, dealerships must disclose any damage that exceeds 5% of the MSRP. They do not have to disclose small damages that have been fixed. For used cars, dealers must disclose damage that is 25% of the fair trade value.
if the light is on the airbags are off-line (not working)
DEPENDING ON WHAT KIND OF TITLE THE VEHICLE HAS IF IT HAS A CLEAR TITLE THEN NO IF IT HAS A SALVAGE TITLE THEN YES
You don't. Working on the SRS is not a DIY repair. Due to the inherent danger of working on this system, this should be done by a professional.
Could be anyone of the 5-10 sensers or the airbags themselves.All airbag systems sold in US are under warranty for 5years by federal law.Asian dealers are known for not informing customer of warranty and charging them.While the lite is on,your airbags are disabled.

When my airbags went off, the controls on my steering wheel quit working, when the new harness was installed, everything works fine
Yes, but it is not a DIY repair. Working with the SRS can be very dangerous. For this reason seek professional help.
Technically, yes. It is legal to sell a used car with malfunction airbags. It is best to get an inspection on a car before buying it for reasons such as this. If you buy a car with faulty airbags without a warranty, you will be obliged to fix it yourself and the dealer will not be at fault.

No, they do not have airbags
Problem with the SRS. Take it to a dealer for repair. the airbags may or may not be working.
