Need help with blinking ABS light

Hi,

I need some help guys. I have a 1995 Maxima with dual air bags. I was working on my dash yesterday, and I disconnected the driver's air bag (as suggested in the manual) to avoid an accidental inflation. Then I made the mistake or reconnecting the battery and turning on the ignition to test the radio before I reconnected the air bag's connector in the steering wheel. Now the air bag check light on the instrument panel blinks constantly after it comes on initally whenever I have the ignition on.

Does anybody have any clue to what can be the problem?

I assume there is a fault code in the ABS computer. Does anybody know how that can be deleted or the computer reset?

Thanks for any input,
Bazsu

If I rememebr correctly, you reset your airbag computer like this:

a. Open the drivers door.
b. Put the key in the ignition and turn it to the run position.
c. hit the button for the drivers door at least 7 times within 10 seconds (so your dome light goes on and off 10 times.)

Hopefully, that should fix it.

THANKS A LOT. It worked. I tried everything (disconnecting the battery, turning the ignition on and off 15 times, connecting both battery cables to the positive terminal of the battery) but nothing worked so far. I was about to go to the dealer to have the computer reset.
Thanks again,
Bazsu
PS; Where can one learn about these tricks???
