I have a 1994 Q45, With TCS

The Air-Bag Light has been on since I got the car, I have had it tested at the dealer and the report was the AirBag Computer.

I have replaced the AirBag Computer under the Center console since it looked like it had been coked. With no change I also changed out the Sensor in the Dash and also the Sensor in the Grill with no change.

All wiring for Seat-Belts and Seats and air-bags have been checked and are clean and the airbags have never been deployed.

Any Ideas?

Constantly on never has flashed or turned off once, I have connected my serial cable and PS Consult Software to the car and the only codes that show is that my Knock Sensors need to be replaced.

I had to replace the TCS Relay(s) under the battery and also the TPS since the alternator had shourted out and was taking electronics with it.

Well, if removing the battery connection for a bit and replacing it doesn't reset it, I am afraid you will have to trace some circuits to see if they were fried.

or do the reset procedure, unplugging the battery wont do ANYTHING for airbag lights...

Turn the ignition on, and within 10 seconds of doing that, press the door switch 10 times.

But it's not flashing per the FSM diagnostic. Worth a try, I guess.

Tried the 10 pushes on the door switch trick with no change, also forgot to note that when I replaced the Control module the Seat belt light and alarm started working right again, also I had to have the Passenger seat belt replaced since the belt would not retract so the dealer (free replacement) and I checked the wiring and it is connected.

I also disconnected the battery today since for some reason the driver seat went into diag mode and was flashing Mode 1 and 2 and would not auto move or cancel out of Diag mode. All this after the 10 times on the button last night for the reset option to test the Air-bag
