Update: mine still appears to be working fine.

I just desoldered mine today after having the light on for about a year. BAM FIXED!!

My crummy solder job that got the job done

Big Thanks to Crazy_Pilot!!!!

 

Update from me. I originally fixed a connector behind steering wheel. Light went away for all of two days. Just today I tried resoldering the D1 and R1 connections and no dice. Then I tried the 6 on the back between the lights and now the airbag light is off. Hopefully this does it for good!

So I took apart the upper dome light console and that area seemed to be fine. No broken solders whatsoever.

 

So then I went to the steering wheel column. Removed it and found a loose ground wire below the airbag connectors. No idea if that's simply the horn ground or the airbag. But in any event, the airbag light went off so will see if that fixed it. I am guessing not and that wire has something to do with the horn instead.

 

Just an update... After fixing the wire below the steering wheel airbag my red dash airbag light has not come back on. It's been at least a month now and it used to flicker daily before. Good luck! JC

Thanks amptramp!

 

So my issue is the red dash light (the psgr airbag light on the map light console seems to be fine). The issue comes and goes. Seems to be no rhyme or reason. Still the resistor in the map light area you think?

So I've read through this thread and may have missed it but what lead-free solder is best to use - silver? Thx.
