AIRBAG LIGHT after install :(

erichans_Z · 11-24-2014, 10:24 AM

So did an install of a JVC KW-V20BT this weekend -- overall , went ok and it works!!

however, on the way to work this morning the Mrs has informed me that "the airbag light" is blinking

-- actually both dash light and the passenger airbag light (next to the radio, which you have to take off for install) ... is there a way it needs to be reset?

just a matter of not connected back up you think, or could it be something else?? none of the wiring for the radio are airbag related, so I'm pretty sure I didnt cut anything , and all the wires were on the exisiting harness anyway ...

scratching my head

any guidance or suggestions welcome!

I ran into a similar issue a few months back:

Seatbelt & airbag warning lights after Dynamat install

I think I'd try the reset procedure that I found but didn't try because my light stayed steady and never flashed. If that one doesn't do it, maybe try contacting your dealer for the current reset procedure as I couldn't find one searching this forum.
