How can I turn off blinking air bag light??
I had the front sensor for the SRS system disconnected and started the car. Now the air bag light is on. How can I reset it to turn the light back off???

It goes something like this....
Open the driver's door
Turn your key to the ON position (as if the car is running, but it's not)
Push the driver's door dome light button at least 7 times within 10 seconds (the button that turns on the interior lights when you open the door. "

Hey...I had this happen to me when I first picked up my car..2K3 SE...the dealer guy brought my car back in the shop and said that the airbag was disconnected. I don't know if that means anything but they supposedly plugged it back in and it was good.

My 95 when i bought it had the airbag light blinking, i drove around with it blinking for a year before i took it into the dealer and was ready to pay for costly repairs. The tech came out to my car, hooked up some computer, punched buttons, said, ok your good to go. No charge or anything.

airbag light reset: more than just 5-7 times
previously posted relative info:

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.
