air bag light on means there is a code in sdm code read but has steering wheel or columb been disconected as contact coil which carries power to drivers air bag may have been turned too far and broken if horn is on wheel check if it works as shares loomb with bag.elec power steer also has sensor at top of columb (steering angle sensor) so check if any columb plugs are disconected.can also check codes in airbag computer
