Airbag prob.
#1
My airbag light began blinking again. I followed the instructions that were posted here about reseting it, it worked, but that was almost 1 month ago. Last week it went off again. I tried reseting it again today - didn't work. The light just won't reset. I tried everything, but the thing just keeps blinking. Can anyone please give me some feedback on this, I really want to avoid taking it to a Dealer. Those bastards will charge an arm and a leg for it!
Is it me, or is this happening often on Maximas? I noticed quite a few people with this problem.
PS
I have a 98 Max SE 5spd, if it helps to determine the prob.
Thanks a lot to all!

Nissan dealers are honest and competent businessmen. Your local friendly Nissan dealer will repair your car and charge a fair price for the service.

Anyways I also noticed there being somewhat of a problem with the airbags in maxima's..... Mine were personally great to me and saved me from a lot of chest pain from the seat belt when my 96' se was totaled, but I have a friend whose (98 gle) deployed 5 seconds after the accident causing more harm than help, and I've also heard that same complaint on this board... I would have the dealer look at it, even if it is a lot of money better to spend it on the airbag now than on hospital bills later; unfortunately they can't tell for sure if they would work or not unless they deploy them.... Better safe than sorry.

I just hate that damn light blinking all the time, and I see a lot of people with Airbag probs on Maximas. You'd think eventually Nissan will recall them or something. I am gonna call the dealership, or Nissan, and ***** at them about this... who knows!?
Why didn't your friend sue them if the bag went off 5sec after the accident? Isn't the point of the bag to save lives?
