No I did not swap that one . It still illuminates and gives me flash code 45 when the key is on . The leds are actually a lay over the factory guages. It has its own leds in it. . It's to make it look like 03 cobra guage cluster (ebay) I pulled the 194 bulbs for the back light so they wouldn't interfere with the led lay over . Did not touch any other bulbs .

I assume by "that one" you mean the air bag light. If any of the warning lights are out it makes that noise not just the airbag. I don't think the gauge bulbs set it off but they might be on the same circuit

Well I figured it out . I'm an idiot . When I was running my guages I tried running the harness I made through the rubber gromet behind the break booster . I tried using a small drill bit to drill into rubber . Well I ended up cutting up a yellow wire . It's a tough spot to do a repair . Not sure if I'm going to try push the harness into the interior to get enough slack to repair or just cut the rubber off . Thanks for everyone's help .

I am not sure how I have been lucky enough to not do any more damage drilling holes in cars with as many as I did installing stereos back when. That would be a crappy spot to repair. If I were you I would trace the wire up into the harness a few inches and tap it there. Then pull the wire through and then see if you can pull some of that wire out of the harness and make the connection. It might not be pretty but be sure to solder/heatshrink the connections and do not use t-taps or crimp connectors there, they will corrode.

Yes this is the most miserable spot to do a repair. I disconnected the harness in the driver fenderwell to pull some slack through. Still don't have a lot . I'm using the heat shirt connectors that have solder in them . I have pretty good luck with these in the past . I hit like 5 wires . I really f-ed up this one .

to go through the rubber I just use a screwdriver to make the hole. After that I have an old car antenna that I tape the wire to and poke through the hole.

I was just doing a wire tuck on my passenger side of my 95 Gt . Relocated ccrm and tfi into passenger fender well. Everything went good but now I have an air bag code 45. I checked plug and cleaned it and added some dielectric grease but still have it. Is there a way to reset this light ? I dont think I damaged a wire . My harness is in really good shape before I started . I'm pretty sure I had battery disconected the whole time I'm was messing around doing wire truck.
did you pull the codes using the paper clip and flashing codes method? I have an airbag light staying on but it's not flashing or anything. I do have a different cluster in but it's crazy that I had an abs light on and when I swapped rear ends and put the brake lines from the other car on the differential and tied it to that junction box thing it came with, the abs light went out. When I was done with the rear supsension rebuild as well as the front and lowering it off the jackstands, I did because the car was so low in the front, the radiator support hit the front of the jack and it bent upward some. Ended up having to put another hood support, that rod that goes from bottom of rad support to up top and fixed my hood situation that happened after the fact. When I started the car, I had an airbag light. Those crash sensor things I guess that's what they are called the 2 things at the top of the radiator support and near the hood latch, they both look fine and undisturbed so not sure why the air bag light is on all of a sudden.....
