Consensus on the air-bag light issue?

[David Head]

Before anything, try stabilant on the plug to the instrument cluster - on my
V8 its the black one. Both of my V8s now exhibit the 2-3 minute time frame
for the light to extinguish, after pulling the instrument cluster. Prior to
pulling, they went out within like 10 seconds. Its kinda funny when you know
that this was the reason for the recall. Adding a seperate ground wire was
supposed to fix this - I think the problem was always in the instrument
cluster insead of the SRS system.
