Unplug anything to do with the SRS circuit whilst the battery is connected and the warning light will come on. Can you not do the heating ducting with the glovebox out

you sure? :-/ I'd suggest it only triggers the airbag light if the ignition is switched on with a SRS bit disconnected ...................... obviously it's a better/good idea to disconnect the battery though.  ;) ;)

You'd need a code reader of some sort, either a real Tech II or a 'Cheapo Tech II'  :y

Correct. The only power source to the SRS ecu is ignition switched, so turn off the ignition and leave it turned off until everything is back together and wired up and you will have no problem. :y
