I unsnapped the passenger side A-pillar cover to run a wire, and now the air bag warning light in the instrument cluster flashes and will not turn off. I did not completely remove the pillar, just pulled it loose so I could tuck a wire to run down the pillar. I saw the curtain air bag there, and I thought I was careful not to touch or move it.

It's a 2009 S model. Shut off the car, even unplugged the battery. But it still flashes. Anyone have any ideas before I go to the dealer?
Thanks guys.

 

Simple, you messed with a major Side Curtain Airbag component and now you have a problem.


Warranty FTW

 

yeah just go to dealer and they will reset it...it takes literally 5 seconds....
the same thing happen to me... seriously this car is so freaking sensitive to stuff its unreal....i tried taking battery out to maybe reset it but it didnt work....

hope this helped

 

Yeah, I kind of figured. Luckily, we are pretty tight with the GM at our dealer. FYI, I was installing speakerphones on my mom's 09 Maxima, and my aunt's 09 Rogue, and it happened on both cars.

Thanks anyway. The thing that irritates me is that I have been removing a-pillars for years to run wires down them. I guess I wont be able to do that anymore
