i have a 1.9d 51 plate car that i took the steering wheel off and fitted a momo wheel in its place. the air bag light came on and stayed on all time(put tape over so didnt see it) and when i turned key to start car it would beep twice at me to say air bag not fitted. now due to new mot rules i have fitted steering wheel with airbag to my car. now when i turn car on i have no beeping noise but air bag light is still on all time. how do i sort this problem. do i need plug laptop in to car and tell it that air bag now fitted?(had momo on for a year or so now) or is there a different way to make it go out. please can someone help me on this.

It would be good to put a diagnostic on that can tell you what circuit is faulty, then you can find out if the steering wheel is properly connected.
From what I've seen on here the wires break quite easily.

Have you tried disconnecting the battery for an hour of so, then plugging it back in?
