Airbag light stays on

Welcome back to 2CarPros. Being this is a 1997 it shouldn't be hard to scan it and find the code that is turning on the light. That said it's a pretty simple system with just a steering wheel and passenger set of bags with a clock spring in the steering column for the wheel bag. However, just random testing could set off the airbags so using a scan tool is the best way to find the code and use that to point you toward the failed part.
