2006 GMC Sierra V8 Four Wheel Drive Automatic

I have a 2006 GMC Sierra Z71, the air bag light is on, and service air bag message is lit, we took it to gm and they told us the air bag coil is gone, and would cost 800.00 to fix, just wondering what the actual name of the item is so that i can look for the part cheaper, and if you thinks this is actually the problem?

the coil is often called the ribbon, it is under the steering wheel. This is something that you DO NOT MESS WITH. Take it to a qualified professional to do this. If you make any mistake on it and it sets off you will blow your windshield out as well as possibly hurt yourself while doing this. Plus you will have the cost of replacing both airbags, windshield, etc.
