Default Air bag light is off

Hello!
My C4 (year -96, 304hp)
air bag light is off all the time and I have to fix it before I can drive. Anyone have any idea what is wrong?

You might mention the year and specify IF the LIGHT is ON meaning an "error" and the system is assumed off/disabled OR do you mean that when doing a "BULB CHECK" with the ignition switch the light NEVER operates and maybe you've been refused a safety inspection.

Where are you located? You mention "having to fix"?

The air bag light is not visible at anytime. Not even during ignition check as it should.

I live in Finland. I am not allowed to drive with my Corvette before this issue has been repaired.

You could check to see condition of bulb in cluster. SIR requires a scanner to diagnose. You could see if dealer or a body shop could read codes. If car was in a collision is possible SIR was not repaired just disabled. Air bags apply to 90 and later since no year is listed..

For a '96 with NO LIGHT the diagnostics are 2 pages long, I've sent you a PM and email regarding a FSM. Being located in Finland I'd say for sure you want one.

Do you generally do your own repairs?

I'd think a complete read of the FSM for SIR is going to be "required reading" for you or a shop for diagnostics. I'd say a "read before ripping things apart".

Is this a new import into Finland or a car that's been registered properly before?

Try pulling codes, it's possible the bulb is just burnt out.
