My question is about my dads 95 Maxima. His air bag light is flashing. I checked a few manuals like Chiltons and they were no help. I have a 92 SE: 5 speed no air bags. I told him to put a piece of black tape over the light and ignore it, but he was not happy with that solution. Any ideas ?
Thanks

There must be something wrong with the air bag. Bring it to be checked out unless he doesn't mind not having an air bag.

Reset instructions

This is the procedure for resetting the dashboard Air Bag warning light.
This information came from the '99 Maxima factory service manual.
Perhaps your Dad's '95 Maxima works the same way. It's easy enough to try.

Open the driver's door. Note the rubber covered button, a button which is
pressed by the door when the door is closed. This is the Driver's Door
Switch (DDS).

Turn the ignition from OFF to ON. Press the DDS at least 5 times within 7
seconds after turning the ignition switch ON. Turn the ignition OFF.
Close the driver's door. Start the engine.

Possible causes for this warning light to go on include...
- a fault with the Air Bag.
- abnormally low voltage in the electrical system due to a weak battery.
- a maladjusted door striker plate such that the door does not close properly,
and the DDS is jiggled on and off constantly as you drive.
