I went to use my Max today, and I noticed that my air bag light didn't come on. I tried the diagnose thing with the door switch, but it didn't do anything. I'm guessing (hoping) that maybe the bulb has blowen, is this likely the problem? Can I replace the bulb my self or do I need to take it to a dealer to be done? Or has something gone wrong with the air bag system? I checked the fuses, all were fine. Thanks for any help

 

I would take a look behind the cluster to see if the bulb had burned out, since you said you already tried the diagnostic air bag check. If I'm not mistaken, when I had my '95, I think the air bag light was actually a LED light, so it would last a very, very long time without burning out, like a normal bulb. Nissan recommends to have your airbags checked after 10 years on the life of the car. I had my '95 for 9 1/2 years before I got rid of it and never had a problem with the airbag system.

 

I'm a newbie. I have a blinking air bag light and can't figure out the cause. Could you repeat the air bag diaognose procedure? Thanx.

 

It's at the top of the 4th Gen FAQ post thats stickied in this forum
