The airbag wiring under the drivers side footwell has an orange connector for the slip ring, and then the slip ring has a black connector to go to the bag itself. The port is on the passenger side by the glovebox door, at least on my 968, I think it's in the same area on the 951, but hopefully someone can clarify.

Please search. This has been covered many times, and there are already threads with pictures.

Search this and the 951 section, subject line only for airbag. That's what I did when I first got my car and was trying to reset the airbag light. Only I ended up ripping everything out!

i have a good sense of where it is, i think i had it in my mits yesterday: i also need a wire to the air bag from the slip ring the clip that goes into the bag ( wheel) broke when i was taking out the bag any thoughts: it appears that there is an wound coil in the clip is that for resistance if so can i just solder in a resistor and call it a day??????

The molex connector for re-setting the system was found against the firewall on the passenger side. Looked just like the one pictured. I got lucky to find it by feeling around, also get a friend to help instead of making a long wire and trying to time it yourself. Much easier w/ 2 people. Btw, we just did this procedure on Wed. Make sure your ground is good and it may take several tries. When it comes to airbag wiring or components, I never repair...always replace.
