not that hard to do but if you've never done one I would take it in.... you will need to clear the light.....they will do that on repair.....and as far as I know dealer is the only place to get part......but I could be wrong

It could be toe clock spring, or maybe it's a connector near the base of the steering shaft (near the pedals) that got worked loose. Get your head under there with a flashlight & check everthing out

if your airbag light is flashing it is giving you a code telling you what is wrong. count the flashes and then repost. for example 5 flashes, pause, 1 flash ,pause, is a code 51. then look up the code and fix the problem.

well if its for your 91 its just a code four, since in 91 they seem to only go from 2 - 10.
here is the breakdown:

Safing Sensor - Diagnostic Circuit Open or Low Primary Crash Sensor Resistance
