@vinrin57: "Can anyone tell me what is involved regarding a driver side airbag, 2000 
C70.
SRS light has come on.. the shop cleaned driver side contacts, reconnected 
it.. and it has come on again.. quote $500 plus for a new airbag.. ouch...
Can anyone give me some insight into this.. is it remotely possible a DIY???
thanks!

    @vinrin57: "Thanks for the info... I have a mechanic that will install it...
The bag that is causing the SRS light to go on is supposedly the SIPS bag, 
in the seat.
But I need to ask a question from someone who knows this system... what I 
found on the web tells me the side impact bag (sips) is a self contained 
mechanical unit, and not part of the SRS system.  Is this correct?  If so, 
how would this bag cause the SRS light to go on?
Or, is the 850/960 material I found different - this is a 2000 C70...
thanks!

Yes the sips bag is separate from the main srs system as that it does 
not rely on the crash sensor but there is a connector that connects 
under the seat so it can be monitored in case of a failure in the system
   "*-344-*Never Forgotten"
Is for the New York City Firemen who lost their lives on September 11,2001.
The official count is 343, but there was also a volunteer who lost his life
aiding in the initial rescue efforts. And I will never forget them as 
long as I live,
nor should any American."
    @vinrin57: "Thank you, thank you..
That is exactly where I am at... he is a Volvo mechanic who I've used for 16 
years... he knows his stuff...in this case, he unplugged and cleaned the 
contacts.. only for the light to come back on again.... he initially thought 
it might be a harness since it was initially intermittent, but there is no 
harness- it's part of the bag...
If I get a new bag either from the net (airbags-oem.com), and it's not the 
bag, I could be in the middle of the same goose chase you were...
Is there a harness or something we might have overlooked??
Thanks!

    @vinrin57: "Well, he found what was wrong.
When he took apart the seat to remove the old bag, the harness was in pretty
bad shape.. the outside jacket  had a few cuts, and at one point, one of the
wires was showing.. possibly grounding out...
All is fixed.. thanks!
