airbag light flashy flashy

[Kreator]

Anyways, after some messing with the steering column (disconnecting it from the steering rack) i got a blinking airbag light which i have no idea how to fix.

From search, ppl say either take the bulb out or put the tape over. I dont want to do either of those. Someone said that the airbag control module has to be replaced. Given its $150 bux at a junkyard, thats a rather expensive fix up for a small electircal problem like that, i wouldnt like to go that way either. Not to mention that if that is the only way to go, it seems pretty retarded to me to design a car that way.... at any rate...

has anyone managed fixing it normally? What does it mean anyways (like do my airbags still work)? Uhh really dont want the stupid curb damage problem escalating that much.

Thanx

You're not searching hard enough.

uhhh well, neither one of those works

not to mention that as i keep searching people still keep telling the only way to get rid of it is go to a dealer or replace the module :-/

The link doesn't work, but on the 240sx.org site there is a FAQ on the airbag light that will help you. It tells you how to reset it. Something like: close the door, turn the key on/off, open door, turn key on, push the door open switch 5 times in a row while standing on one leg facing north

lol robe... funni ^.^

i tried it and it didn't work. but i think my airbag really IS disconnected. the previous owner probably put a aftermarket steering wheel on the car. gotta make sure the airbag isn't connected... then yanking the bulb ^_^

Do this...

get in car, close door, turn key from the "off" position to the "on" position 5 times, on the 5th time leave it at "on" then open the door quickly and press the "little button in the door jam that makes the dome light go off" like 5 times fast, close door, start car.... If that doesnt work try again....


It worked for me.
