Airbag Light

[Lawrence C Leung]

Having finally checked the Bentley's, it's possible to easily check the
spiral spring for failure. (I'd bet that's my problem!). But, I'm waiting
until it's warmer out (it's 16 F today!). But $376 for the stupid spring?
I'm going to start searching  U - pullit junkyards in the spring, armed
with a screwdriver, #25 Torx, the big honking steering wheel socket and a
multimeter......
