Re: Airbag Light

I agree....that is about your only option.....

Make sure the key is out of the ignition....remove neg cable first , then positive.....now hold both cable ends together(or jumper them together...leave like this for a couple minutes...now reconnect to the battery, pos first, then negative.....if there is corrosion on the cable, clean first before installing...if bolts are corroded, just replace them....

If this doesn't reset the airbag module and the light comes back on, you really can't do anything without knowing the code......this should be left to a garage to work on.....

Sometimes, it's as simple as a connection at one of the SIR harnesses.......simply taking it apart, and reconnecting it is all that is needed(worse case scenario, special contacts have to be replaced, or even the whole harness connector).....but there are many connectors....a specific code would point you to the right connection......however, don't recommend you doing this without following proper procedures to disable the SIR system....
