airbag light

fonZie · 03-17-2011, 10:25 AM

So after radio install, I got the dreaded airbag icon flashing. I tried the reset no luck, took it to the dealer and they said that the RH air bad curtain is showing no connection. I checked it the other day and it is connected. The tech said that there is a connection behind the radio that controls it. I do ot recall anything I disconnected or even a connection being back there. Any ideas? I'm going to tear into later but just curious if anyone has heard this before.

I figured it out and turns out it is exactly what i thought it was. Turns out the door airbag pin got bent when i was putting the molex back together cuz the door speaker wire is running by it. I opened the hole where the speaker wire passes to experience less friction and straightened the pin and did the airbag reset step and bingo, no more airbag light! i knew there was no wire unplugged behind the radio.
