Airbag Light Flashes, Possible clock spring problem. HELP!

[hiscraigness]

I just bought a 94 Q45t with129,000 miles on it. Runs great. Only problem is that the Air Bag light flashes on and off. The dealer wants $100 to diagnois the problem. My local mechanic thinks it is probably the clock spring since the cruise control buttons on the stearing wheel do not work either. He has said clock springs do wear out and he has seen this same problem in other cars. Anybody with experience in this area?

Do this:

Turn the ignition on, within 10 seconds of doing that press the DOOR SWITCH on the drivers side more than 10 times wtihin said 10 seconds.....

Lots of times they get stuck in self-diagnosis......

Drivers door switch is on the B pillar toward the bottom.

There is a procedure in the FSM. I had to do it on one of mine when the NICO ECU triggered it.
