5 beeps - Airbag warning? What to do?
Okay. I see that repeated 5 beeps (from the info on sun visor) means there is a problem with the airbag. I replaced my stock wheel with an aftermarket one a couple months ago, & just got the beeps tonight. What I did do today was to pull the instrument panel because one of the bulbs wasn't working (it was the defrost one). I also pulled the light bulb for the aibrag warning, since I do not have an airbag installed. My stock alarm also kept going off, so I unplugged the 8 & 20 pin white connectors behind the driver left pick panel.
Any advice... I must stop the beeping! I'd rather not undo what I did today & see if it stops beeping... especially since if I reconnect the 8 & 20 pin white connectors... the alarm will again go off like crazy!
SOMEBODY SAVE ME! Thanks in advance.

There's a controller behind the HVAC panel (If memory serves me I think you can see it from the driver side footwell). Two white plugs into a box approximately 3"X4"X2" (I recall black with a yellow sticker)... unplug them - no more beeps.

I actually found out it WAS the airbag light... so I wrapped some electrical tape around the bulb, & voila! No more beeping OR airbag warning light!

It's under the dash on the driver's side bolted to the heater core. It should be pretty obvious, yellow warning sticker on it. I don't have a link to a picture handy.

Pretty much, I pulled all my airbag stuff some time back. The airbag system is pretty much on separate harnesses from everything else.
I think the only loose end was the airbag light was on after everything was removed, simply pulling the bulb was the end of that.
Some parts I cut wire, to really fully remove would be a dash-out operation, but you can get 95% without going to that extreme.
