Air bag control module nla oem 12249649. After a rain I started up my parked vehicle the service air bag listed in the driver information center as well as the red warning lamp turn and stayed on I am the original owner and have never been in any crash. Took to both GM dealer and independent shop with the same response of a replacement was not available. In my research I have found the same issue with other 2005 owners and have contacted the GM help line (case number 8-2560253832) to no avail.
