Air Bag Help

I got a little problem. I was ckecking out the area under the steering wheel, and I unplugged and then plugged back in what I assume to be the airbag harness. Now, when I turn my car on, the airbag light blinks constantly. How do I fix this?

Thanks Dr. Roy,

For some reason, it didn't work. The light keeps on blinking during and after the instructions. Is there anything else I can do? Courtesy wants $90 to look at it I'm going to try and take off the negative lead of battery for a couple of hours and see if that does the trick. Any suggestions are welcome.

The timing needs to be pretty much exact, i.e., don't just count to yourself, use a stopwatch or the second hand on your watch.

Problem solved.

I got the idea to go to a small shop I know near my work. I told them my problem, and they said try taking off the negative lead and let it sit for 30 seconds. When that didn't work, one of the guys started the car, waited a couple of seconds and presto, no more blinking light. He wouldn't tell me what he did, but he reset the airbag e.c.u. by using the door buttom. I don't have a pic, but it is the button that is released when the door opens to let the lights turn on. After that, he said no charge!

The stealerships have their name for a reason. Trying to charge for a 1 minute job $90 is simply

Thanks for all the help again!
