There's a larger concern.... And I'm not going to say that you should fix
the airbags rather than hiding the problem. That's your choice as long as
you don't sell the car, or let someone sit in the passenger seat without
telling them. This issue is that the light could be on because of a detected
problem with one or more sensors - maybe due to moisture in the wiring or
firing module, maybe due to a short to ground in the harness to the squib,
or across accelerometer sense in the sensor harness. Lets say it dries up or
the ground or short goes away. Now the module thinks all's well, and
re-activates trigger mode. Go over a bump, and the short re-appears. If you
are not lucky, it might fire the airbags. Not cool if you are driving at
highway speeds. False triggers have happened. A workaround might be to
remove pow..... Never mind. Big legal issues to complete that sentence.
