Default New to me 2003 350 z

I just bought a 2003 350 z. the dealer replaced the passenger seat because it was ripped. He bought a used seat and installed it. after that the air bag light blinks, did they put a seat in that does not have an air bag or sensor? How do i tell, or did he not disconnect the battery and just a reset is in order. any info would help.They where not very helpful and i agreed to just take the car the way it was at that point.

You should've had them pull up the codes using their Nissan Consult. A diagnostic from a dealer costs roughly $89 and normal shops (Autozone, Pepboys, etc.) don't have that tool. But, take a look here:

Perform the steps, diagnose the cause and you'll find what's wrong. It could simply be a reset that's needed, or something more.

Search next time.

Make sure the other seat in the car has an airbag. Not all Z's came with those airbags.
