solid (stays on till I shut the car off)

cruise control not working. I have replaced fuse #36 for the Airbag Control Module (15 amp fuse) and still the light is on.

Wish I could help...let us know what you find out.

It is just airbag code 32 (Drive Side Air Bag High Resistance or Open in Circuit). Check with one of the guys @ the two rivers quick lane or PM Doug @ SVTOA, he may be able to check with one of them for you.

Quick Google search points to the clock spring.

There are a couple of things you should try first though.

1. Since you just replaced the seats, check the yellow connector both the male and female sides under the seat. Use a compressor or canned air and blow out the connectors to make sure that they are getting a good connection.

2. Disconnect the battery and make sure it's got water if it's not full, fill it with distilled water. Drive the car or put it on the battery charger then take it to auto zone and have it tested under a load. If the battery is low on Amps it can sometimes trigger a false airbag light.

Other than those things, I would think it would be the clock spring, especially since you hadn't replaced the seats when the light came on.
