Right up high in the dash there's the SRS module close to the steering wheel. On top of the module is a plastic 10A fuse. With a very long nosed plier you can reach it and replace it if blown. My '93 model 960 had this problem and once replaced never reappeared in 3 years of ownership.

I found the resource telling me of the location on Brickboard.
