Uhh...no. It should have a DTC associated - you can go to any AutoZone or Advance Auto Parts store and they can pull/print the code(s) for you. Could be:

DTC 13 Driver Air Bag Deployment Loop Short to GND
DTC 15 Driver Air Bag Deploy. Loop Short to V
DTC 23 Pass. Air Bag Deployment Loop Short to GND
DTC 25 Pass. Air Bag Deploy. Loop Short to Voltage
DTC 31 Driver Air Bag Deploy. Loop Resistance High
DTC 32 Driver Air Bag Deploy. Loop Resistance Low
DTC 33 Pass. Air Bag Deploy. Loop Resistance High
DTC 34 Pass. Air Bag Deploy. Loop Resistance Low
DTC 75 Driver Side Air Bag Short to Ground
DTC 76 Driver Side Air Bag Short to Voltage
DTC 77 Driver Side Air Bag Deploy Loop Resist High
DTC 78 Driver Side Air Bag Deploy Loop Resist. Low
DTC 85 Pass. Side Air Bag Short to Ground
DTC 86 Pass. Side Air Bag Short to Voltage
DTC 87 Pass. Side Air Bag Deploy. Loop Resist High
DTC 88 Pass. Side Air Bag Deploy. Loop Resist. Low

Or...something like that.

Wow, good timing for me to stumble on this forum. I just picked up a 1997 GTP and am having the problem with the ignition key intermitantly not coming back to the off position so that I can't remove the key. I recognized this as probably being a common problem beause the last 97 GTP I had also had this problem. I assumed it was a problem with the lock cylinder so I picked a new one up today and while searching for the procedure to install it I stumbled upon this forum.

I'm probably going to give this car to my daughter so I'll probably replace the part rather then just remove it but at least I now know what part it is. Anyone purchase one and know the cost? Is it a dealer only part?

Now I'm going to throw a little wrench in this - another problem the car has is the heater blower motor only works on high. I know that typically this is caused by a bad resistor so I replaced that and it did not fix the problem but here's the interesting part. When I move the fan switch from off to positions 1,2,3 or 4 I hear a click in the dash near the headlight switch and the running lights go out as does the information center display. When I move it to postion 5 the blower works, the info center comes back on and the running lights come on. Flip back to any other postion and they go out again.

Could this be related to the ignition switch? Any ideas?
