Air Bag Light wont go off- what to do?

About 3 months ago, i took all the air bag wiring out of my steering column/wheel to get ready for my new Momo steering wheel- well after doing my T-5 Swap(disconnecting the - terminal)
my SES and INFL REST light stays on- how do I trick the computer and make it turn off?

Take the bulb (not the SES one though) out
The SES light would be something else wrong. Try seeing if there are any codes stored.

Duck, just kidding. Did you actually take the air bag out too?

no, the air bag is still in, but all the stuff behind the airbag(wiring etc.) has been taken out- and like i said earlier- it didnt even set a SES code until i reset the computer-- how do i bypass it?

Hey,
I understand many of you guys like the look of aftermarket steering wheels, but why take out your airbag if you have a 90 + thirdgen? I would rather be saved by an airbag than a metal steering wheel, just a thought.
