SOURCE: find front airbag sensor 2003 Sierra

The front crash sensor is on or near the radiator support under the hood, it is a little square box, one question why do you think it has a problem? it is a mechanical device, a steel ball bearing sitting in an inverted cone, when you crash the ball bearing breaks free of the magnet, that breaks a connection and signals the airbag monitor to fire the airbags, it takes a 5+ MPH impact to set all this in motion, there are side impact sensors as well, the physics of these are a little different, they are measured in G force of the impact, hope all this doesn't bore, one note the fuel that fires the air bag is made by the same folks that make rocket fuel for the solid fuel boosters of the space shuttle.

SOURCE: 1997 Dodge Caravan Horn and Airbag light

It's the " clock spring " . Dodge has a lifetime recall / replacement on this part. Somehow it controls the air bag and is tied into the horn and cruise control .

you may have to change the clock spring inside the steering colume, it may be losing continuity.

I have 1997 geo prizm and i need to reset the airbag light.but i don`t know how to do it?

bags are complex tech.
there is no reset, but you can pull the battery neg lug
for 5 to 15minutes. and then try.
the air bags have huge caps in side that hold a huge charge.
just pull it , watch TV , then go back and put it all back and pray.

or read this.

Is there a fuse for the cruise control on a 1997 Dodge Grand Caravan? Mine doesn't work. Also, my airbag light is on. Can I turn this off?

To turn off Air Bag light needs to be reset by a shop or dealer (Fed safety standards) and there should be a fuse for cruise control. If you don't have manual showing all fuses it's pull each one and inspect.

Airbag light is on on dodge dakota

This is very serious. I would not delay. I would find a reliable auto center, and have them check it out.
You do not want your air bags going off while you are driving.
It may just be a faulty switch, but better safe than sorry.
Please let me know what you find.

Air bag light stays on

The Airbag, horn and cruise control share on common component. The clock spring inside the steering wheel. The clockspring is snapped into a plastic mounting platform on the steering column behind the steering wheel. The clockspring is used to maintain a continuous electrical circuit between the wiring harness and the driver's airbag module. This assembly consists of a flat ribbon like electrically conductive tape which winds and unwinds with the steering wheel rotation.
The clocksprings going bad is a common problem with Chrysler products. Since the Airbag is involved, I would recommend the dealer replace it. It is about a $175.00 to $200.00 repair. or you can try junk yards hope this help have a nice day.

1997 Caravan Airbag like comes on intermittently.

ok, if the airbag light is on, there is a fault with the unit, your concerns are valid, if it has a faulty sensor the airbag MAY fire for no reason or not fire when you actually need it. if it has a recall on it, take it to the dealer so they can rectify the fault.

Recalls are a warranty repair from the manufacturer if they try to charge you scream the joint down

Air bag light

You can have the airbag light tested for the trouble code that is making the light blink, the most likely cause is the rotating contact that connects the steering wheel airbag to the steering column wiring, it is called the clock-spring contact, if you replace this part yourself make sure to follow factory procedures for disarming the airbag, if you don't and it goes off you will have a good chance of being injured or worse.
