Airbag warning light stays on.

CHRYSLER GRAND VOYAGER

1999 Plymouth Grand Voyager (170K).
When I go to start my Voyager, as normal, all my instrument warning lights come on and after 6- 10 seconds they go off, but my "Airbag" light stays on constantly. I have checked and replaced any bad fuses or relays but there is no change. I was told that I could try to reboot the computer but I am unsure of how to do this. How do I reboot the computer, and is there any other possible problems that could cause this and how do I solve them?
Any info or ideas would be super becaue we all know the price of taking it to the dealership and having them just diagnos the problem and find out its only a 5$ part and get charged 200$ just for the labour costs.

Well my ? Would be how long have you had this van? Is there a chance that it was in an accident?
Maybe airbag is disconnected, though not for sure if that would put on light. Any way to answer your?
What I think they mean by rebooting your computer is pretty much just disconnecting your battery cables from battery (For about two minutes).
Always discount battery cables starting with the negitive -- (black) to aviod sparks. Reconnect cables and that normaly resets any codes or any of those dumby lights on your dash. Good luck hope it helps Jess S.

I had this problem called the dealer and found out this is a recall you can get it fixed through them for free.

You need to have the vin # ready and on hand
Call your local Chrysler /dodge dealer
And they will tell you if it’s under the recall warranty or not
Very very common it’s the clock spring under driver side air bag
