I’ve seen that workaround being talked about. My question is, what harness is the resistor connected to? There’s a pair of bullet connectors under the seat, but connecting and disconnect it appears to drive the seatbelt light on the dashboard. The airbag light never went off. Right, those are just to see if the seat belt is being worn. The part where the belt winds up has a small bomb in it that, in the event of an airbag deployment, will go off and tighten the seat belt. This is all behind the plastic rear tray, but you can probably reach the driver's side one without fully removing it. There is a yellow, two-wire connector back there for each seat belt. When I removed the seat belts, I jumped those two wires on the chassis side with the resistor, so now my light acts like normal. And you definitely want to have the battery disconnected for a minute or so before playing with that wiring, haha

Thanks for the description of what I need to look for. I'll test the resistance of the airbag to see if it's busticated. For the sake of due diligence, I've already bought the magical device that can reset the light. I'd rather keep the airbag if I can.

For the sake of due diligence, I've already bought the magical device that can reset the light. I'd rather keep the airbag if I can. If you unplug the air bag, there is a wire inside the connector that grounds the two pins together, so you'll have to open that up. I can't advise testing an airbag's resistance though since that applies a voltage across two wires that can set it off. Hopefully the reset tool can tell you the issue instead.
