Flashing Air Bag Light

[marler1957]

Pulled the radio and CD 6 cage out of a 2005 Altima multiple times to try and remove stuck CDs. At one point I had the battery connected without the
passenger airbag light wiring connected. Would guess either that grounded the air bag circuit or I did it in another manner. Nickoli415 procedure worked to reset the light for me. Thanks.

Great job nick, worked! I had changed my battery a few months ago and when I put in the new battery the Air Bag light started blinking. Problem solved.

I love the internet and forums like this! I decided to install DVD Headrests in my 09 Murano and I started pulling plugs to tap in + and - from under the seat and I guess I pulled the air bag sensor that determines if someone is sitting in the front seat and sure enough that light started blinking. Just got the car 2 weeks ago and didnt feel like going to the stealership yet. That post by Nick worked perfectly. Thank you.

Wow, I did what Nickoli415 suggested and it worked. I too am now a member of this site. I have a 2009 Nissan Altima and it came with no radio. It was cheaper that way. So I had to add one. I still need to add RCA cables so I can play my IPod on it and I need to get the right cables for the GPS so that will display on the 6 inch screen of the radio. If for some reason the annoying flashing red airbag light comes on again, will the procedure work a second time?

Some advice for all:
when installing satelite radio,gps or any accessory where it requires center dash or console removal with pass side srs indicator either disconnect the battery or do not disconnect the switch indicator. As for harness damage highly unlikly unless direct damage has been done to the harness.

Always disconnect the battery when working on SRS system.

Salutations. I have read this procedure before on several different forums and seen different instructions such as waiting 1 or 7 seconds before turning it back on. But I must say, I tried the 5 mississippi trick and it worked like a charm on my first try. Thank you very much for the help!!!

I also changed the battery in my 2005 Armada, and when I put new one in the air bag light blinks. This worked, but after a week the light started blinking again. Has anyone actually talked to a mechanic to find out what the actual problem is and to let us know if it's something to worry about?

^well it may be different for someone else. you need to have yours scanned to see what your problem may be. but i would try resseting it again

Just joined the group and tried the air bag flashing light fix. It worked like a chare the first time. Thanks

I tried that reset instruction several times and it didn't work. At the end it flash twice slowly and then fast. anybody experience the same?

[IAVECCHIA]

I guess it worked for me because i just changed my cd player when it happened. Maybe your problem is more serious.

Ps can anyone email me how to get back on ???????? Forgot my name or password or both. My email address is nvpest@hotmail.com

I can't thank you enough! It's two years after this post and I tried it out on my 2007 Versa and it worked perfectly. Now if only I can get the Tire Pressure Gage light to turn off. We have a faulty one so it stays on even though the tires are full.

i have a 2003 pathfinder LE,i upgraded with an aftermarket head unit replacing the bose system a few months ago today my airbag light started flashing, i tried your method which worked 4 everybody except me,got any suggestions?

Nickoli415's method worked on my 2008 350z. Awesome - thanks very much! Trophy Nissan of Mesquite wanted $109.00 to reset the light. That's roughly $36.33 per ignition turn - what a bunch of crooks. The problem started when I had my seats pulled & re-upholstered. Thanks again for the money saving tip. You rock.
