Silly me forgot to plug it in, thats what i get for making a project last over two days.

haha, hey, at least it's working and no serious issues...well at least not with the car.

Excellent thread. The 15-20 second trick worked on my drivers window....but the other method mentioned in the first post worked on my passenger window...LOL. couldn't get the 15-20 second method to work on the passenger side for some reason. I'm sure I was starting off wrong somehow.

Thanks to this site I was able to complete the stereo install myself. I encountered the window and airbag problems but quickly corrected all the issues thanks to this thread. Thanks all!

Service Engine Soon Light

Apparently theres some goofy code where you have to press the gas pedal 5 times in 5 seconds then relase for 10 and hold for 10 etc etc and timing is imperative, but theres a much easier way to fix this.

Just disconnect the battery for a few hours and reconnect. The ECU should be reset.

the airbag light stays on for me... got teh window to work. any thing else??

Carbon_z · 11-01-2010, 08:21 PM

Great info.. Thanks

I had issues with the check engine soon light and the airbag light. I used the fix from the first post by rreign and it worked. Then to take care of the check engine light I unhooked the battery for about 10 seconds (to let the power dissipate) and then hooked it back up. All worked well.

Hold down the lock and unlock buttons on the key fob until the horn sounds and lights flash. You can also switch back to silent the same way.

My AC controls and entire center dash doesnt light up any more. Fuse? if so which one. The rectangle that says the radio station and everything still lights up though.

I recently took out my stock bose head unit but put it back in.

AIRBAG LIGHT COMING ON AFTER CAR AUDIO INSTALL

The instructions worked! Thanks.

SonicZ · 04-28-2011, 11:14 PM

Fix for AIRBAG LIGHT worked for me on 2009

qmattingly · 07-03-2011, 03:25 PM

Had new stereo system professionally installed. Sounds great. The problem is the AC isn't blowing cold air now. The AC light, fan and all seems working. Its just not blowing cold air. Not sure if compression is coming on or not, as I^m not familiar with what this should sound like. Any recommendations? I plan to take to back to stereo installer to have a look before going to Nissan if I can^t fix it before.

The white box under stock radio needs to be or back
