I am looking at a replacement steering wheel. I did some research, and it looks like a 3.3 ohm resistor across the airbag terminals will trick the SRS controller onto thinking there is a working bag installed.
I have verified this today. replaced bag with 3.3 ohm flameproof resistor. SRS light is active during the self-test, and extinguishes after.
Got these from Parts Express via Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0002ZP0US/ref=ox_ya_os_product
Cheap, one dollar plus shipping.
