Passenger side airbag warning light comes on and off , but mostly stays on for a prolonged period of time. And for no obvious reason, it has been doing this for quite a long time. Being in motion or sitting still doesn't seem to change the pattern nor do rough roads vs smooth roads. Is this takata related ?

The air bag light stays on all the time. Moving the steering wheel in and out makes it turn off, so i suspect the steering wheel airbag has a bad connection. Searching online, it sounds like the clock spring goes bad. *tr
