New cluster air bag light! Help
New cluster air bag light! Help I did a search and nothing exact. I just installed a new cluster in my 99 camaro. I matched up yrs and made sure everything was exact. My tach is finally right! But solving one problem only created another. My new cluster has the air bag light that wont go off. The dealer wants me to bring it to them and charge me $60 Just to look at it. My old cluster's air bag light came on when you turned the key and went off when the car started so i know it wasnt burnt out. What can cause this and any suggestions on how to fix it? I know one guy that will prob. have an immediate answer because he is just a whiz at anything electronic on an FBODY!. Im jealous foff667. Thanks for all your previous help!
(Air Bag)
Things I have tryed include
Unplugging the batter for 45 min.
Pulling airbag fuse.
(A lot of people doing header installes say you can break the clock spring and cause the light to come on.) Would this be a possibility since i adjusted the wheel up and down a few times to get the cluster in? Just a few thoughts.
Thanks guys

That suckers on there to stay, only way to fix that is pull the cluster and take the LED out of the back that is for that particular light. The error code for that is in the BCM and not the PCM, so you cant turn it off with our tuning software.

i'm not 100% positive about this but i was told when you swap out the cluster for another it must be synched to the bcm with a tech2 programer....dealer replaced my cluster.They claimed its a hub for the PCM-BCM.
I think it would go off if you reset the BCM but of course you have to have a tech 2 for that. Not 100% sure on this one! Maybe the BCM is thinking something is wrong since you have a new IP cluster and it is freaking out.

The cause is because of the vin that is stored in the cluster.
The airbag modual is requesting that the vin matches all the bcm and the cluster.
All that is needed is for the vin to be updated.

I think if you turn the car on and off a bunch of times it will fix itself. Turn it on for 5 mintues, off for 15 seconds, back on. Cycle about 10 times. That is how I fixed my IP cluster and BCM. None of my stuff is from the same car. I had the dealer check it with a Tech 2 and they said everything matched up.
The airbag light will go off if you fix the problem. Does it blink 7 times and stay on or just it just come on?

I have a guy here at Souther Illinois University carbondale that can get the tech II programmer from auto shop. Is there anything specific on how to use it or how to get my air bag light and security light to go off?
Thanks for all the help guys.
