... i think he means hes putting an aftermarket one on, and wants the light to stay off.

i think its AM1, if its not ill go check my fuse box and report back.

oops.. its the "ECU" fuse.

If you just want the light to turn off, pull the gauge cluster and remove the bulb, just incase that fuse controls anything else in addition to the airbag.

Not quite my friend. The ECU-B 7.5 ATO Fuse in the frunk fuse box is THE ONE you want to pull out, if installing an after-market steering wheel. It only goes to the Air Bag ECU & Warning Light in the Instrument Cluster. I know, I painstakingly went over the OEM Wiring Diagrams in the BGB several times before pulling that fuse. But, once I did, the Warning light went off & EVERYTHING else in my 91T works perfect, as usual, & I have ALL the power options.

See the links in my siggy & they will show you how to install the after-market steering wheel & get the horn to work & relocate the Cruise Control (if you have CC).

All great ideas when I switch steering wheels I'll keep this in mind

I would have just pulled the light but hey pulling the fuse would be much easier. Now I know.

No problem pal, I came about this the hard way though & don't wish that on anyone, even though removing the Cluster light works real well too (I pulled it out when I put your EMS boost gauge in FWIW).

To OP, if you click on "HERE" in my siggy & scroll down to the last pic you will find that it shows the frunk fuse cover & which fuse was pulled.
