Electrical Air Bag Code 34 - So Close...

I've been struggling with air bag code 34. I have followed the service manual procedure here:

Assuming a good air bag module, the possible culprits are

- short between circuit 614 and 615
- bad clock spring
- bad air bag

I have a spare air bag, which did not fix the problem, along with an air bag simulator, which also did not fix the problem.

Using an ohm meter, I verified continuity between the air bag clock spring wires from the dashboard connector to the air bag connector.

Finally, I verified that there was an infinite open between circuits 614 and 615 (no short).

Here is my question: the manual tells me to remove a plastic locking wedge from black air back module connector. I do not see a wedge in there, nor did I remove it (that I know of). I read somewhere else that this wedge may ground/short something together. If this wedge is missing somehow, could this cause my problem?

If my clock spring has continuity, could it still be the culprit?

Thanks!

Does anyone happen to have a picture of the black airbag connector pins, or have their dash torn apart enough to be able to take one?
