My 2000 WJ had an intermittent airbag light so I had my buddy use his DRB scan tool on it and found the squib firing circuit for the airbag had lost continuity. I took it to the dealer because he didn't want to work on it. They told me I needed the clockspring replaced because without that circuit the airbag either wouldn't deploy in an accident or IT COULD GO OFF AT ANYTIME WITHOUT NOTICE! It cost me $600 to get it replaced.
Since that time I've seen that it's no big deal to replace one yourself.

I personally think it was Service Manager scare tactics. I do know this. My brother decided to run a Chevy Impala in a demolition derby and the airbag had to be removed. He cut the bag out leaving everything else. Do you see where this is going? It went off with a bright flash and burnt his face! D'oh! We can't all be bright!
