tehre is a DIY guide under the tech section on clubaristo.net

i suggest signing up and having a browse through there. you have to connect speaker wire in a couple diagnosis ports, and then do something with the battery. I'll let you read it so something isn't misinterpurted

it will always happen. if you have a look at hte DIY's that i have made, i've made a post at the top warning about this.

as long as you put the key in the ignition(even to move the steering wheel) while the gagues are out, you will get the airbag light coming on.

Hey CL, My airbag light popped up when I recently had the speedo fixed by Lextech. I know it's because I put the key in the ignition with no speedo attached. I did the reset, and now the airbag light keeps flashing. is this normal?? i tried doing the reset thing again, and it's the same result. how do i get it to turn off completely?? any help??

i think you might need to leave the battery disconnected for a lil while then try again

i actually did the TC,AB,TC,AB....trick to the negative side of the battery. The light went from being on constantly, to now just flashing. I'm going to disconnect the battery today for an hour and re-attach to see if this does the trick. any other ideas??

--->This will be my last resort. If nothing else clears the light, then I will do the air bag bulb delete/removal too.
