Sorry to hear that you took incoming, ouch .. good news that it wasn't bad
I agree about the module not being the issue, it could be one of many sensors throughout the car, not my thing anymore. I was wondering if there is any service protocol out there to troubleshoot this issue, any MB techs here?
I called Chrysler national service today, and was told that there was a recall on the air bag after I had told her that I had a letter in front of me stating that. She was even so kind as to tell me that there wasn't any bags available (after waiting 10 minutes for her to confirm that) after I had told her that, hahah.
It reminded me of why I started doing my own work some 45 years ago, same old, same old s...t when it comes to dealers, especially in the case of Crossfire.
She did say that with the airbag module replacement occurring 2 times in a year for the previous owner that it would be classified as a recurrent problem and would be covered if found bad, (omg)
So, the way I see it, I can take it to the chrysler dealer and bite my nails, or take it to MB that would at least have the experience or take it to an Independent (that has a great rep for the crossfire, mb, etc)
THey all have the same rate, give or take, s..t I hate making these decisions when it comes to someone else determining what comes out of my wallet to fix it???
So, that's where I am at for the present, any thoughts that I can entertain?

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.
