The only time my airbag light has flashed is at start up & when my alternator was dying. The alternator has died on me 4 time.

Took it to my mechanic today and it came up as a short in the drivers side seatbelt, that was causing the airbag light to come on.Anyone else had this problem.

That makes sense, The airbag computer has sensors on the seat to time when the bag should go off.

Here's the procedure it works for me, I hope this will help more people
Here's the process to reset the air bag light (copied from somewhere else on Nissan forums)... I tried it and it works.
If you have the airbag light, it will show steady for a few seconds (the manual says 7 secs) after you turn the key from off to on (but not start) and then start to flash. Here is how to reset it:
1. Turn the key from off to on.
2. Watch the airbag light closely. It will stay on for a few secs. and then as soon as it blinks off (the start of the flashing), turn the key off instantly.
3. Count to 5 (1 Mississippi, 2 Mississippi . . . .)
4. Repeat steps 1-3 two more times until you have done the cycle three times.
5. Now turn the key on and watch the light. It will start blinking in a different, slower manner. This is diagnostic mode. You can watch this for a little while, no hurry.
6. Now turn the key off again, Count to 5 like in step 3 again, and turn back on. If the procedure worked, the airbag light will not be flashing.
If it does not work the first time, just repeat the steps again.

Re: 2002 Xterra Airbag Light. (briguy)
What happens is when you drive down the rode the vibrations in the side of the vehicle will make the metal tabs in the connection loose contact. All it takes is one second for it to loose connection anywhere in the system and the light will flash. The flashin light means the system is still working but a solid light means it is not working. The seat belts in newer cars acctually fire with the airbag and pull tight. If the seat belt is unbuckled, and for some reason it fires, it will break the plastic on the side of the car.
