FL Air Bag Light

Well all of a sudden today my light is on and just stays on, no blinking/flashing

Story:
Went to go out, and left a light on in the car which killed the battery, Put the charger on.. got got it to around 50% and still wouldnt start.. figured now to let it roll out the garage and pop the clutch to start it because I been waiting. Car started and drove off and noticed the airbag light is just on, no blinking or anything just on. Turned the car off and on and still light stays on.

Any ideas what to check for this?

so i checked the connector under the back steering wheel, and it seemed to be fine... guess the diagnostic box has gone bad, going to see if anyone around me has a spare i can use to test it

If you disconnect the airbag put a 5ohm resistor in the terminals from the computer, does the light go away? If so, it's the airbag. If not, it's somewhere upstream.

My car started flashing out a code 10 after the battery was disconnected for a while. It goes away after a week or two of having the battery hooked up. I suspect the capacitors in the control box are getting weak due to age.
