I presently drive a 1996 GEO PRISM. My airbag light stays on while driving, cuts off when engine is turned off. Apparently I have a short somewhere.Which means that the codes can not be reset. Have any suggestions? ---

Take it to a Chevy dealer and see if it is a short or a problem with the air bag. ---

It’s not a “short”…Your airbags are disabled and it will take a special scan tool (dealer) to determine WHY the light is on. Usually a four figure repair…
