Fixed intermediate steering shaft now this issue?!
 
Took the thing apart the other day to grease it up and spun the stupid wheel while the shafts were apart, and now the air bag light stays on?
How the hell do I get this to shut off?
Part to replace, or just a code to reset?

Here's the post dealing with what I did before this happened.

Wish I would have had this feedback before I spun the thing. :eyes: :eyes:

I agree with the above mentioned dianosis, busted clock spring. A little trick that I do to keep the wheel from spinning while disconnecting an intermediate shaft is to either run the seat belt through the steering wheel and latch it to keep the wheel from spinning, or take a bungee cord and run it through the steering wheel and hook it on the bottom of the seat. (sometimes locking the wheel in place by just turning it until it clicks puts it into a position where you can't get to the bolts that you want to remove, so I use these methods to allow me to still be able to jiggle the wheel if necessary while keeping it from completely spinning and snapping the clock spring)

when i do these at the shop i use a bungy cord to tie the wheel to the shifter lever. this will hold it still.

Its like having a big red button that has a sign over it saying "DO NOT PUSH"...its irresistable....you want to spin the wheel, you NEED to spin that wheel....LOL
Sorry for your misfortune though. Ron
