Tired of the incessant seatbelt buzzer/light, I looked under the seat to disconnect it. There are three connectors. I disconnected two before getting the middle one which took out that seatbelt alarm. In doing so, the other plug seems to have caused the airbag light to come on continuosly. Even though I reconnected the plug, the airbag light in the dash stays on.

Can anybody on the forum tell me how to reset the airbag dash light or to easily disconnect it?

 

take out the hvac/radio unit- you can pop out the bulb that says OFF reallly easy, or do yo mean the one in the gauge cluster?

 

Gauge cluster. It looks like a red person sitting holding a big ball.

 

GO TO THE DEALER!I would not mess around with anything safety related.I hate the beeping to,but it's not worth the safety marshmallow not coming out.

 

try disconnecting the battery for a few min.

 

You can try a search. This has been covered before.

With the battery disconnected for 30 minutes; then reconnected; and starting the car the light went out for half a second, and then back on again, as if it did a self-test.

 

did you plug everything back in correctly. Sometimes the plugs are able to connect and clip in upside down and will not work.

 

it goes away after like 1-2 days.

that happen to me. when i gutted my car, my srs light went on.


and then i disconnected my battery, waited 1 hour. then it came back on again. then all of the sudden it just went away

 

Don't you fasten your seatbelt? Seems that would've fixed that issue.

 

I did a search (yea!) and I see this has been addressed. I don't want to say much about all of the self-rightous socialists out there but if you didn't have to read through all of their blather, some of these threads needn't be nearly as long. That said!


The best option for me seems to be to reconnect all the plugs under the seat, disconnect the battery for several minutes to reset the gauge light, find an extra one of those plastic "courtesy cards" from your local grocery store or gas station, (an old credit card would do) hold it up to the buckle, and cut it down so that it will fit in place of the buckle.
That way you can take it out when you wish and set it in the tray beside the E-brake, and use it as necessary.
Thanks for everyones help!

 

Go do a search. Read through a the other valid replies on why not to have that seatbelt fastened. You may find my answer to your impudent question/comment.

 

Impudent?

If you want to die a horrible death due to not wearing a seatbelt, that's fine, provided that you DON'T have insurance (as you'll just raise other people's premiums), and that you're indepedently wealthy (so that you can pay the several hundred thousand dollars it'll cost to attempt to put you back together again).

Here's a thread from a search for you: https://www.fitfreak.net/forums/fit-...light=seatbelt

Unless YOU and ONLY YOU are paying the cost of your foolishness, then you should buckle up. It doesn't mess up your clothes, it doesn't hamper your driving, and we won't have to spend money scraping you off the road.

Watch the movie Red Asphalt sometime.

 

oh so your saying you DONT WANT to wear your seat belt. ahhh

i was so confused for a second.

 

Thanks Chris; thanks Tyler. I found my answer.

 

nice to know that you found your answer...so did it work? or ?
too soon to tell.....sorry I am impatient today

Ummm... since you found it, as a courtesy could you please post a link to
it in here? thanks

 

I already wrote my answer but perhaps with what else I wrote, it never showed up.

In response: It seems to be too much trouble to get around the electronics. (I don't want to be cutting wires, uselessly). If you reconnect all the plugs under the seat, then disconnect the battery for a while, it resets the gage for the airbag light to go out.

(Based on something in another thread, if the buzzer is out the light becomes primary warning: This indicates to me way too much thought went into this electronics, so let's take another tact.)

Then in order to "temporarily" disable the sounds and visuals of a disconnected seatbelt; I noted in a previous thread on the subject which indicated to just go get another "buckle".
There are no Honda dealers nearby, but my garage is handy.

So I took a metal spatula that had slots in it similar to the buckle (previously used for gasket scraping), and using my grinder and dremel, I fashioned a tool to emulate the buckle. Now that tool sets right beside the E-brake in the cubby. (Note you need the slot to lock the tool into the buckle, otherwise it tries to spit the tool out).

Again, thanks to all those with helpful information!

 

oops sorry! thanks anyways...

I didnt know that was a fix...I thought it was just a funky/clever
temporary work around.
I getcha now.

I had a similar prob with my SRS light in my previous auto and
it just baffled the mechanics and honda ppls. So I just left it on, it came on once the seat was unpluged and plugged in again and never went back out.
