My 98 has an air bag coed that I believe can be attributed to a broken wire on a harness connected to the seat…
I have not tried to fix it yet as I have other issues.
(you wouldnt have an ignition coil and connector for that car would you? lol)
This is the thread that lead me to that belief.

Do you know what the airbag code is?
