This morning on the way back from dropping my oldest child (5 y/o) off at school and I stopped at a stop light. On coming to a full stop my Inflateable restraint light comes on and stays on. This is the only light staying on on the dashboard. After searching both the sight and google (by the way google actually found stuff on this sight easier than the on site search) I learned that this could be caused by a few different issues. First could be a loose wire which the answer for this problem was wiggling wires. I dont like wiggling wires it can often cause more of a problem than it fixes so as I will likely trace the wire later. Second was a fuse problem which i checked and changed just to be sure and it seems to not be a fuse problem. Third was a clock spring which I learned is located in the steering column but im not sure what this is or where exactly in the column its located. So my questions are ....
1. From what point to what point does the SRS wire run under the dash? to help me in tracing in to check for loose connections or faulty wiring
2. What exactly is a <clock spring> and where in the steering column is it located?
3. Would the SRS light stay on if I went ahead and changed my steering wheel to a wood grain without airbag like I planned on doing anyways? And if so how would I get this light off when I do switch to a non airbag steering wheel?
4. Is there any threat of the airbag deploying with this light on?
Thank you for taking the time to read this and answer any questions you may be able to.
