Where and how many sensors am I looking for? On the older Miatas they were mounted on the frame rails and pretty easy to see , they aren't as noticeable on the Subaru.

mr junkus : ) was your horn working before the clockspring was replaced? ive seen some forum posts that the airbag light plus horn not working points to that part tim

Has anyone put together a parts lists for this repair? My shifter feels very sloppy, like its sitting in a bowl of spaghetti or something else mushy!

Just thought of something. Under the dash by the diag connectors there is a yellow female plug that is not connected to anything, think it has 4 or 6 wires, maybe that should be plugged in somewhere. I first mistook it for the airbag diag connector because it is yellow.

Great info! Thanks for posting it. Odd thing is the car came with a fuse in a ziploc bag labeled "drivers airbag fuse' which I reinstalled. I still have the codes and they won't clear so need to dig deeper.

Thanks for the reply. I've done a lot of searching online today and it looks like some codes are make, model, year, and model specific. Anyone out there got a FSM for a 1996 Legacy? Related question. If the clock spring aka 'roll connector' is faulty does it fail across the board for all steering wheel mounted controls? A bad clock spring could be my problem (from guessing at code similarities) but my horn works fine.

I followed the online procedure for getting the codes out of my 1996 Legacy today. The airbag light has been on since I bought it 3 weeks ago, previous owner never bothered to find out why. If I am reading the pattern correct I am getting 2 codes: 1 long flash then 1 short flash ; then 1 long flash followed by 4 short flashes . Wondering if someone on the forum can tell me what errors are indicated. Thanks
