Default Airbag light doesn’t work

So my airbag light is out. Like when I turn the battery on it doesn’t come on like all the other lights. Occasionally the airbag light will come on and do 9 blinks. Looked it up has to do with RCM wiring. Do you think that has to do with why it’s not on all the time. I also get beeps 5 sets 5 times. Because the bulb is not working. Anything helps. Thanks

The clockspring is the only moving part
We used air bag simulators to help with diagnosis
You plug one of those into the base of the steering column at the clockspring connector
Makes the diagnosis of the broken clockspring a one step process
