Re: Airbags went of and now indoor lights, clock and...
This sounds like a fuse may have blown, check all the fuses while you are checking them also check under the hood for 2nd fuse /relay box and check those as well, good luck,

You take it an have DTC'S - diagnostic trouble codes checked , have it diagnosed . Then replace a sensor or the module or fix the wiring ! then the light will go off > Oh , one more thing could be wrong , the clock spring inside the top of steering coulmn . Do you know what that is ? How cars clock spring works Do you have control buttons on steering wheel ? Crusie control , radio etc.. If so do they work ? If not the clock spring is more then likely bad .
You have a defective part called a clock spring contact under the steering wheel, this contact is a coiled up simi rigid plastic ribbon with circuits embedded in it, after many years they l break and you loose the connection from the steering wheel controls (radio) and the Airbag. You must disarm the airbag on the steering wheel and remove it and replace the clock spring contact drum under the wheel, the cost is about $300.00
OK THE PROBLEM HERE IS IF YOU REMOVE THE MEMORY FUSE YOUR CLOCK RADIO AND INTERIOR LIGNT WILL NOT WORK. BUT IF YOU CHANGE IT(IF BROKE OR MALFUNCTIONAL) YOU WILL RESET CLOCK RADIO AND LIHT.

Your issue is most likely the clock spring which is part of the air bag system.
All of the signals controlling these functions are routed through the clock spring.
Should cost around 200-300 to have it done, or more like 100-150 if you do it yourself. You must know what you are doing though as the airbag system is not to be taken lightly.
You have probably had your battery removed? Clock you can fix by setting the time. The airbag warning light indicates that ther's a problem with your airbag. Check if the co-drivers airbag is turned on. If the light is still on, take it to the shop to be checked.
To fix the clock and the odometer I just had to make sure there was a fuse in both places 11 and 15. I have a standard trans and one place I thought was for auto trans instrument panel lights. But both must be there. The engine check light also went off but the airbag light is still on. I was wanting to avoid going to the dealer, but I might have to so they can reset that.
Hello
Your buttons on the steering run threw a clock spring contact pad this is brass many times will loose contact here. disconnect the battery remove the airbag then the wheel, This will expose the clock spring contact points. Give this a good cleaning,
