It only works on some Nissans. Glad it helped

I purchased a new '05 Pathfinder recently and had a satellite radio system installed today (it didn't have it on the factory Bose system). When the installation was finished, the airbag light was on (as stated above).

The installation guys tried disconnecting the battery to reset the airbag light, but it obviously didn't work. I wasn't looking forward to making an appointment with the "local" Nissan dealer (50 miles away) to get it looked at, so I gave this forum a look - and it paid off!!

Your fix worked like a charm - thank you!!

I'd gladly donate to the forum... but I'm broke from buying the new Pathfinder. All I can offer now is my profound gratitude!

Thanks again, and I look forward to being a part of this forum!!

This thing came up last year after I had removed the seats in my (then) New '05 Frontier. Once you unplug the wires under the seats you get the same symptom and the cure is just the same. Enjoy!

Glad to be of service

RIPSLASH - You are the man!!! I've gone through half a dozen posts, all with different rituals for ridding myself of the demonic flashing airbag light. I successfully troubleshot and repaired my malfunctioning air conditioning blower, but found in the process that I had inadvertently bugged my airbag system. I can't tell you how many times I pressed the door ajar button, or counted to seven, not five -- no ten... Anyway, you had it right. Thank-you!

And I thought it would be just me who had this as a strange problem.
Who woulda thought that installed a new head unit would cause the air bag light to flash. I was about to pull the unit out and begin checking wires and such.

THANKS FOR THIS THREAD. As soon as the wife gets home with our 05 Frontier, Im going to do this.
