Update - Got a call from the chop shop and they said the Nissan Dealership said the ECU is the problem and needs to be replaced. Hmm we will see what happens. I find it hard to believe the ECU is bad.

check the connectios that they have disconnected, to make sure they didnt damage it while messing with it, the system wont reset untill everything is connected.

PS i am more than sure that is the problem.

Sorry to hear this...On my first 09 370Z after audio install, something kept triggering the TPMS light, come to find out it was the speaker wire coming from the crossovers sending signals triggering the sensors etc etc. Don't understand why the airbag light would go off during audio install, I did same install on my last 370Z and audio does not involve removing the steering wheel, sensors etc. even steering wheel controls have no effect on airbag light.

My personal opinion would be to get your money back go somewhere else or DIY and save a ton. You should receive your car back in the same condition if not better than what you left it with to them.

Raider - That all sounds sketchy as hell.

Excuse the probably obvious and simple questions:

1. Disconnect and reconnect the battery after a few minutes do anything?
2. Since the airbag light is on - did the dealership find that it is throwing any codes?

The dealership scanned the car and saw a code for the left door panel airbag. They replaced that sensor and they still couldn't clear the airbag light. They have tested every airbag sensor, wire and everything is working. The only thing they could think of being a problem is the ECU. I still have not been told to get my car. I guess we will see tomorrow. If I don't get a call by 12ish then I know the ECU isn't the culprit.

ECU.....audio installers...some mentioned they used the same shop...could have been a different installer who knows.....again I am sorry....is Nissan going to warranty it for you? Next you should hear something along these lines...Sir....for your trouble, time and hassle that you have went through after the install....that is of no fault of your own....seek some sort of compensation...what I don't know but something is better than nothing...anyway hope everything gets fixed and worked out bud...good luck.

For resetting the ECU ignition on off trick. I literally has to be timed perfectly! I mean perfectly. I can walk you through it on FaceTime or something... I've done it to my car maybe 6 times now? Sometimes I even fail a couple times in a row before its complete. Tards just probably don't know how to do it right.

will you have to pay for the ECU or the chop shop will cover it?

Chop shop is covering all the expenses. At least they are doing one thing correctly.

ECU's can go bad, mine did. Electronics are tricky like that.
