Caravan 2001 Airbag light woes

Back in February, I had the clockspring replaced at the dealer on my 01
Caravan because of the airbag light coming on and off randomly. Well, its
back. The dealer charged me a couple hundred for 6 months of peace, and I
suspect they will charge me again if/when I return it.
When it comes on, if I smack the middle of the steering wheel hard a few
times, it will go out. I suspect a loose something or other and wonder if I
should try to disassemble and find out myself, or should I not risk further
trouble. I'm reasonably competent with repairs and simply want to perhaps
check the connections, if any, or whatever else I may find, like a bad
ground, but I never delved into this system before and need some guidence.
Anyone have this problem and fixed it themselves?

Don't mess with this basic safety system. If there is a recall you want to
show that the dealer did the work so that you can get reimbursed. Check to
see if the work you already did is covered by the current recall.

there was a issue with the driver squib circuit connection at the clock spring
in 01 which invovled replacing the clock spring and the airbag
and if you ask nicely and with prior history d.c may take care of it
if it is indeed the same issue

 

Thanks, I will take it back to the dealer. I found out that the squib
circuit is the firing device. Not something I want to jiggle around.
