airbag light, you need the code, could be lots, but probably the clockspring

the low coolant sensor is in the radiator, passenger side, below the top trans line inlet IIRC

Thanks.

Is there any danger of the airbag deploying for no reason while driving?

unlikely, but there is a slim chance, but no higher a risk then when the light is not on

When the air bag light is on, the system will not deploy the air bag if you are in an accident. It might be as simple as the lead connection under the dash.

You can find pics and how to replace the low coolant sensor on my Tech Page.

for the coolant sensor, its about 36 bucks, take out the battery...thats the easiest way to get to it, and get something to push it in. its easy...takes bout 10 minutes.

Would you happen to have pics of the lead connection under the dash in your tech page.
