Help! Air Bag light on

[tex]

I did some stero installing yesterday and now today my airbag light on my dash is blinking at me and the light for the passenger aigbag wont go off even with someone sitting there.

I put in an Audio Control LC6i, Diamond 400.4 and some subs.

I ran wires from the blue plug on the factory amp to get signal to the LC6i. I unplugged a black and white plug just below the factory amp that were wider than they were thick and were attached to big bulge of wires in electrical tape. I unplugged the gas pedal and I took out both front seats.

After I was done, I plugged everything back in under the dash, plugged in the gas pedal and the plugs for both seats. Everything on the radio works and the truck runs great but that darn light is blinking at me. I drove to work this morning hoping it just needed to reset or something but that was a 22 mile drive. I have even unplugged my battery.

Does anyone have any ideas of know of a plug I might have missed.

Thank you

If you have the airbag light, it will show steady for a few seconds (the manual says 7 secs) after you turn the key from off to on (but not start) and then start to flash. Here is how to reset it:

1. Turn the key from off to on.

2. Watch the airbag light closely. It will stay on for a few secs. and then as soon as it blinks off (the start of the flashing), turn the key off instantly.

3. Count to 5 (1 Mississippi, 2 Mississippi . . . .)

4. Repeat steps 1-3 two more times until you have done the cycle three times.

5. Now turn the key on and watch the light. It will start blinking in a different, slower manner. This is diagnostic mode. You can watch this for a little while, no hurry.

6. Now turn the key off again, Count to 5 like in step 3 again, and turn back on. If the procedure worked, the airbag light will not be flashing.

If it does not work the first time, just repeat the steps again.

If I know someone that has the Consult software to plug into my ECU port would that work as well. Its the software that is used to advance timing and adjust idle speed and all that.

Probably, I know some people have had it turned off by the dealer, likely with the dealer's Consult II computer.

Just follow bestatchess instruction, the dealer can do it for $90.

Agreed, this seems to be a common problem after installing audio equipment. I installed an Alpine HU and Sirius the other day and had this problem. Came on here, found this thread, problem solved and my wallet isn't $90 lighter. Thanks!

Thread stuck, not that anyone pays attention to these things, watch!

found this using search, worked like a champ! I can't believe a dealer wanted to charge someone $90, that's criminal!
