1996 Ford Fiesta temperature gauge / airbag light

Car: Ford Fiesta
Year: 1996
Variant: 1.3 LX
Categories: Leaks & Noises
The temperature gauge doesn't work, it stays on cold all the time but the heaters work ok. Is this just an electrical fault? Also the airbag light keeps flashing continuously, I was told this is because it wasn't reset when the airbag was changed after 100,000 miles. I've heard there is a way to switch it off?
