Airbag Light is flashing?
When I first start my car the air bag light flashs. It flashs four times, pauses, then nine times. this cycle goes on for four or five times then just stays on. I've disconected the battery, unpluged and repluged the airbag switchs behind the glovebox and under both front seats. I realize that this is a code, but i can't find any reference material. Money is tight and I can't take it to a shop, any ideas?
****UPDATE****
I feel silly but it turned out to be low battery voltage. Hope this helps

I know there is a code sequence for the air bag light, I don't know what it is...
Every this has happened to me, its been a connection, normally under the passanger seat, but since you've tried that and don't have the funds for a shop, take it to autozone and have them pull the code. I figure it'll be on the code reader if the TPMS faults show up on there.
No promises, but might lead you in the right direction.

Is your airbag light doing this?

If it is then it's your connectors, there's three of them.
One behind the glove box, one underneath the passenger seat, and one underneath the driver seat.
Disconnect your battery, make sure there's no power in your system by stepping on the brakes for fifteen seconds.
Disconnect and reconnect each of the connectors, one of them should be loose. This should fix the problem.
And yes, I was speeding in that video.

Ground Connector & bent pin
Had the same airbag warning light issue- checked all 3 connectors, then started by pulling the driver's seat, disconnecting the battery and opening the connectors- found a bent pin inside the connector under the driver seat. Also ran down the ground wire right beside the connectors as they go under the carpet and found it pretty loose. If you pull the carpet tab back beneath the air vent duct, you can get to it. After reconnecting the battery the light was no more.
Unexpected downside- I was clearing the error for my state inspection. Now I can't clear emissions because the car has not completed a "drive cycle" They told me to drive it 70-75 miles and come back. I never heard of such a thing.
