today after leaving my girlfriends house, my airbag light started to blink. i was like "oh thats new" so i drove to the end of the street and turned off the car. started it back up and the light didnt come on. by then i was like its a glitch but after a few miles of driving, i pulled into my driveway and it blinked as soon as i turned into it. i replaced the clutch a few weeks ago and the rack fell down so i had to center the steering wheel again i turned it lockj to lock and found the center and bolted the column in again. my question is this. is this a fault 51 or is this the clock spring. the clock spring i can see because i might have put the column in not correctly, as in i didnt find the middle of the clock spring, just the rack. but the car only has 57k so the fault 51 seems kinda wrong. any info would help.
 
yea i read that already. the thing it doesnt explain is this. the air bag light blinks three times pauses and blinks 2 more times. i thought if it was code 51 it would light up solid.

No, if it were a 51 code, it would flash five times, then 1 once...... repeat, then stay on solid.
