you only can reset it at the dealership. OR take the speedometer out and pull out that light.

I was gonna do this when i converted my Gauge cluster lights to LEDs, but that bulb is hard wired in and I do NOT want to find out what happens to the car when its cut out.

Wow....so you guys would rather have your bulb just taped up rather than have your SRS tested...smart thinking.

Ya I was told $179 for a scan..... And whatever else to fix the problem. I smiled put my sunglasses back on turned around and walked away laughing quietly. Im gonna stop by a shop i used to work at and use their scanner one of these days to see if I can get any results. But I like the taping it up idea in the meantime.

yeah i just did that right now. took apart the cluster and NO you cant take out the bulb. it is solder onto the board of the cluster. so either take it to the dealer and have them shove a spark plug up ur a** or put sum electrical tape behind the airbag lamp n call it a day. HA!

oh and i called infiniti in riverside, ca they told me it will be 100 bucks for a scan then 110 bucks per hour to fix plus parts. f*ck that shit!

doesnt the safety equipment have a longer warranty than the whole car? i remember i had to take my moms accord in for the SRS light. the car itself was out of warranty and they had to replace the whole computer in the passenger seat and have it sewn back up. took forever. they said the safety equipment comes with a longer warranty.

Mine's doing it to. Got it scanned and they said that one of the sensors are reading as open. Supposedly your car does this when starting the car but the sensor will close afterwards. Apparently mine didn't.

Well that trick didnt work on my car. Tried it a couple times. I guess its time to bust out the electrical tape until i can get it into the dealer.

I used electrical tape..When I replaced my OEM steering wheel to the woodgrain steering wheel the airbag light came on. I did not want to pay $100 bucks to have it reset so I used electrical tape and has been fine ever since...those lights dont get hot enough to melt the tape and it was the easiest thing to do. If I ever get around to it I may drop the $100 bucks and have it reset but a year later and I have not had the need to do it..so will see...

You have to press more than 10 times. but this may only work on g50's and not y33's.

Right now I am dealing with the stupid TCS OFF/SLIP lights turning on. probably b/c my brakes or some chit.

does your horn work. If it does it may not in a little bit. I have the same problem and I've diagnosed it as my airbag clockspring being broken. I'll be fixing it soon.
