airbag replacement & blinking light

I just replaced both driver's side and passenger side airbags. In addition, I replaced the airbag diagnostic control module. I purchased the parts via the web from www.fivestarairbags.com. All the parts looked great. However, after installation I'm getting a blinking Airbag light.

Do I need to reset something? If so, what and how do I do it.

Thanks,

Chenz

I think the dealer can reset this, but it cant be done by simply manually resetting the ecu. I have the same problem of a blinking light, but when I had the dealer do some work they turned it off for me.

That's got me a bit curious--it seems that many of our 4th gens are having this problem. Airbag is not cheap--why wouldn't such an issue be a recall?? Anyway, in my case it was the side bag harness on the pass. side. Would replacement of the bags address that?? I was under the impression the harness was not the same as the actual air bag.
