airbag light reset: more than just 5-7 times

previously posted relative info:
http://forums.maxima.org/showthread...15&pagenumber=1

Mine was blinking after disarming and re-arming the airbags in connection with pulling my Bose headunit. (yellow connectors in steering column and glove box). I repeatedly tried the "5 times in 7 sec" doorbutton switch routine but no luck.

I wheeled into a friendly South Carolina Nissan dealership and intercepted the technician in the parking lot. (i.e. before some desk-jockey could write up an expensive work order) I asked him about the airbag lamp. He sat down and did the doorbutton switch-reset, but pressed it way more than 5-7 times. He was really rapidly pressing it. (Like video-game lasar-cannon style). Fifteen times, maybe? He explained that sends it into diagnostic mode. Moments later it was solid, then off. Fixed. Try that variation to the previously posted routine.

Looking straight up from where your blower motor is (glove box removed), you'll see the airbag module. The wiring to the airbag is yellow. Make sure this is plugged in tight.
Before you do any of this, I'd disconnect the negative battery terminal for awhile to make sure you don't accidentally deploy your bag. The FSM says something like 3 minutes for all juice to be out, but I'd wait longer (with my luck my airbag would be some sort of endurance freak).
