Flashing Airbag Light - Comes back after reset
My airbag light started flashing out of nowhere. I was just driving on the highway. I did the reset procedure and the light will stay off for maybe 20-30 miles, then comes back back while I'm driving. I don't get any code, just 3 seconds on, 2 seconds off, so I'm not sure where to begin troubleshooting. Could it be a loose wire? Any suggestions would be great. Thanks.

I unplugged the wired under the driver's seat and plugged it back in firmly. Light still came back on... I may leave the wire unplugged and see if that gives me anything different.
If the airbag module is shot would that give me an error code other than the steady flashing?

My buddy works for the NIssan plant and he had the same problem he told me he did it one time and then again and once again for the third time and later on he found out it has to be done three times for some odd reason.....

Alright, I've reset it for like the 4th or 5th time now. Just this past time I unplugged the cable under the seat to see what happens. The light came on a lot quicker. Maybe there is a bad wire somewhere the is getting bumped loose or something. I still don't really have any idea.

If it is a loose wire, I can't find it. I tried looking at the electrical crap and I don't really know what I'm looking at. Nothing looked loose, frayed, broken, etc. Unfortunately I'm going to take it to the stealership. I'll bring my vaseline and cross my fingers it's only a couple hundred bucks.

Yeah, I was going to tell them I reset it like 7 times already and that they need to run the diagnostic.
$92 is crap, geez. I can reset it with my key in literally one minute.
