Sounds like my Options are:

1) Leave Airbag DC'd, hook up batt, get SRS light, go to dealer.

2) Hook up SRS connector, Hookup batt, take a chance I won't trigger airbag putzing around with the Cruise Control

Seems like anything much with the electrical system, you are told to disarm the airbags.

I told you in the other thread...if you just unbolted the 2 hex screws on the back of the airbag and removed it you would have none of these problems. The amount of time you have spent researching could have had the airbag out and stored safety days ago.

Don't get your hackles up, and don't take this personal. There is info on the Internet that is not dead reliable or correct, or accurate. For instance read this thread start to finish, there are different "opinions" here, to say the least. I try to do as much reading and asking questions as I can and try to make the best decision I can.

The two issues I'm trying to avoid are the airbag going off and the SRS light needing a reset.

I'm not...Just giving you advice that would solve both your issues at once...

The later cars are different, I'd stick with what the 124 guys are saying. There is a different 124 controller in '90-up with the dual airbags also, ... I think that your early one will behave like Chas is saying.
