Airbag woes, Round II

My '94 SVX had an interior swap performed by a former owner. He put a '92 interior in the car. '94's had passenger airbags, 92's did not, so my car has an airbag connector hanging loose behind the glovebox. And the "AIRBAG" warning light is on constantly.

"No big deal", says the former owner who did the swap. "Just put an airbag computer in the car from a '92 and you'll be good to go." So I got an airbag 'puter from a '92, tore 2/3 of the interior out, and swapped it in.

It is anticlimactic, I'm sorry to say, but - the airbag light is still on.

I'm weighing my choices at this point. Additional options and/or ideas about any of the options below are welcome.
  1. Obtain a P/S airbag from a '94 and connect it up (sounds expensive, especially for something that may not work)
  2. Fake the computer into thinking there is an airbag connected (ideas anyone?)
  3. Disable the warning light (sounds illegal)
  4. Punt!

Like I said, I'm open to suggestion. At this point, with the dash ripped open, it would be fair to say that I'm w-i-d-e open.
