I have a customer that has a 96 Oldsmobile Ciera Station Wagon 3.1 v6 that had his 4 speed automatic transmission rebuilt and now his air bag light is flashing when the engine reaches operating temperature and you shift into drive or reverse .. Any ideas? he had this trans done in New York but lives in south jersey and asked me but i dont do transmissions so im not sure. HE DOES NOT RElly want to drive into ny just for that. He uses this car for delivering food for his pizza place. It is bright yellow and known all over as the pizza car... lol
 
Well first I'd get the codes, LOL.

Those cars are so dated stuff like airbags and ABS are kind of their own wiring harness that's on top of the one that's already in there. Even saw one that was apparently factory built with 3 rolls of electrical tape.

Could be a bad engine to frame ground that shakes when the transmission rocks. Could be a solenoid pack in the transmission guzzling power. Could have been when the transmission was out if the cradle was dropped something happened to the steering rack or column or clockspring.
 
The air bag crash sensor should be behind the bumper,maybe the wiring got pulled out when the trans came out and its not plugged in correctly or the wires got taped up...??
