Air bag light flashing for no reason

For no apparent reason the air bag light blinks. The air bag has never been deployed. The code from the light indicates a faulty actuator. The car has 65000 miles and is in excellent condition. Always garage kept since original purchase.

In 2015 the srs light started flashing and i took the car in to john wine mazda for repairs. On 10/28/2015 they replaced the clock spring module for $634.45 which did not fix the problem. On 11/2/2015 they replaced the diagnostic module of $485.00 which did not fix the problem. They stated parts were no longer available to fix the problem and on 11/13/2015 the said the battery and backup battery module needed to be replace but the module had been discontinued. I researched availability and only used modules were available and john hine mazda said they could not install used parts.Finally on 3/16/2016 they had a factory representative check out the air bag and he said it needed to be replaced but was no longer available as it had been discontinued. At this time they said i needed to provide a new air bag-which i obviously can't- and the disconnected air bag mode and taped the wiring so it was no longer connected. I now am expected to drive my car without the protection of an air bag which i consider a safety violation. *js
