If you had an airbag deploy and replaced it, you also need to replace the SRS computer with a new one (or one from a completely intact system)

It could also be a sensor.

Or you could take out the SRS bulb in the cluster

My airbags have never deployed to the best of my knowledge I bought the car used... They may have before but in that case the light would have still been on when I bought the car if they didn't get it fixed but this just started

It could also be a borderline battery. My battery was borderline and would sometimes not deliver enough juice to the SRS system. This was only at start up (I know this was the issue because my amps would also kick on at startup and then shut off then turn back on)....due to this problem I would sometimes get a SRS code. This problem was only at startup so I didnt really notice any other problems and the srs would see low volatage at startup and then throw a code, once the car was running im sure there was enough juice but the srs light would obviously stay. I probably resetted it 4 times in a 6 month period until one day my battery stopped working. Its been 4 months since I installed my new battery and no srs light since (also my amps dont turn off then back on at startup). I also wasnt getting any codes when i resetted it.

The SRS system is a hard thing to diagnose and im not saying this is your issue but its worth a shot. The srs is a large system not just your airbags, if your seat belt harnesses have a connection problem then you could also get the srs light.
