Take the ECU back Angel. It has nothing to do with the airbag system. Most likely someone has taken out the light since they didn't fix the problem. You didn't mention the the impact sensors were replaced.
The bulbs and fuses are all good. The computer was replaced and reset. Nothing has fixed the problem. I may just need to sell it as a parts car which is sad given it has 75k miles and has had ton of work done.
Did you buy an ECU(engine control unit) or a security module? On older cars, some modules can be unplugged, so the light doesn't come on. If you paid a shop to fix this, sounds like they ripped you off.

Hi Angel it could be as simple as a bulb. You will need it diagnosed with a computer to be sure there is nothing else wrong. Regards Jim...
We checked all bulbs and fuses. When we tried scanning the computer it did not connect to the airbag system. It cleared all other codes.
Hi if the new computer in the car cannot be read there is a problem with it. I suggest you bring it back to the one who fitted it and ask that he fix it correctly. Best of luck.
I was thinking that if bad it will be illuminated rather than not come on at all. I have never seen this. I was told the ECU may be bad and bought one. Hopefully that solves it.

The passenger side airbag is a lot easier then driver side. Take the glove box out and you will see two 10mm bolts holding it in place. When you open the passenger side front door, remove the panel on the side of the dash and you will see yellow connectors.The 1 closest to the front is attached to the air bag, it is clipped into the frame. Just pull it loose and take it out and your done. For the Driver side, it takes a skinny T27 to remove the two star bolts, then just disconnect the horn red clip and ground and install new airbag. The module is located under the passenger seat, underneath the carpet. Kinda stupid but thats where its at. You also need to replace the front impact sensor located behind the grille on the back side of the metal bar to each side. Follow the hood latch down. Also just to make sure, you know to disconnect the battery before you do all this. You don't want new airbags to accidentally deploy.

Hello , check the airbag contact sensor behing the grill assembley . They are located to the left and right of the grill almost to the headlight assemblies. Check the wires to them for corrosion and damage. Check the fuse as well. There should be an air bag testing wire or fuse in the fuse panel. DO NOT UNPLUG THE AIR BAG SENSORS OR HIT THEM !!

To manually check air bag codes, turn the key On and push the driver's door switch (at the bottom of the B-pillar) 5 times or more within 7 seconds of turning the key ON. Then watch the air bag light flashing codes. The air bag light will come ON for 3 seconds and then give fast flashes if there is a code. Count the fast flashes as the code. So the air bag light on for 3 seconds and then 8 flashes is a code 8 for the passenger air bag circuit. after counting code clear codes and see if they come back

Yes if the bulb fails to light it could be gone or someone might have disabled it to cover a fault. Or the ECU might be faulty. Sorry to give bad news hope it works out. Jim...
