On this one you should try looking it up in a chiltons or some other type of book like that . I honestly don' t know if the wires chang color going through the plug. If the wires at the wheel have a matching wire from the ignition harness then it might just need to be connected back together to the same color wire( you should really double check though). What ever you do make sure the battery is disconected whenever you mess with airbag wiring.

The two wires coming from the airbag are the trigger wires, the wires that make the airbag deploy. They both go to the airbag computer and with the airbag disconnected one wire should show a ground and the other shouldn't show anything. If you are going to be reconnecting these wires make sure that you have the correct wires hooked back together otherwise it would be possible that all the airbags would be set off if one of the two wires get crossed. If you are not one hundred percent sure of your self in this area then it would be best that you take this to a dealer to have it hooked back up.

Also don't test any wires that are airbag related with anything other then a digital multimeter.

Be very careful with that stuff. I recommend you go to a dealer for that info. If you screw up and set that airbag off it can kill if you are not seated in the seat correctly. I was working in an assembly plant and I reached in to turn on the key and the airbag went off. My arm was dislocated by the impact and the airbag threw me clear of the vehicle. I later spoke to an engineer investigating the accident and he told me about a few accidents where people were killed by the impact while they were working on cars.
