As to the light, it sounds like you have a problem with the system that the dealer's standard (and WRONG) answer is to change a module. This is obviously not the issue, unless something is killing the module, which I doubt.
It will be interesting to see what advice you get - cause I got little or nothing for you.
If disconnecting an air bag module with the battery connected will give a red light, it could be surmised that a poor contact to the air bag could give the same red light. It would mean the bag was disconnected with the battery still connected. Something to consider, nothing wrong with the module, just a poor contact.
