Air Bag Light Stays On.

After replacing the instrument cluster (used) from a salvage yard the air bag light now blinks when the car is started then stays on. Background. I replaced the instrument cluster because the car would run for 2 to 3 seconds then turn off with the security light staying on. I tried the 10 minute reset it did not work. After replacing instrument cluster it started  but now have air bag light. More background. I had  water coming through the fire wall due to a leaky heater blower motor seal.  So my question is the air bag circuit part of the instrument cluster?
