I've been looking online for help and have yet to have any luck, so I've come here hoping for some answers! I own a 2004 350 Convertible and just recently, the airbag light came on and always flashes when the key is in the ignition. Obviously, this is an airbag issue and I'm wondering if there's a way to kill it. If anyone has any familiarity with this situation, please let me know what you suggest! Resetting the battery, checking connections under the seats, etc...perhaps even a fuse. The car has never been in an accident and runs great! I just don't want to take it to the dealer so they can charge me $85 bucks just to "look" at it!
I appreciate any and all of your help and I thank you again!
Regards,Tom B.

It may acually be doing what it's supposed to in telling you that something is wrong. In which case, the best thing to do is have it fixed. Modern cars are designed to use airbags as a comprehensive way to protect you in an accident. last thing you want to deal with is the thought that a serious injury could have been avoided over an issue of not wanting to pay to have it fixed. Bear in mind that any charge for a diagnostic is typically put towards the repair if you have it repaired there...

There is a loose connection somewhere. I suspect it's the front crash sensor. Mine kicks the light flashing after washing it sometimes or driving on a wet salt covered road, nasty. Easy to reset. Here you go. Procedure works fine on my 04 roadster automatic. My light will flash and need reset about once every 2 mo. A simple reset fixes it for a while.
Air Bag Reset Reset ProedureThis procedure has worked for some people. Others claim it does not work, however it was pulled directly from the official Nissan Service Manual. So if it does not work for you, then there may be a problem with your airbag system and it should be checked out. 1. Turn ignition switch from OFF to ON. 2. Air Bag warning lamp is on for 7 seconds and turns off, the turn ignition switch OFF within 1 second after the lamp turn off. 3. After ignition switch is turned OFF, wait for more than 3 seconds. 4. Repeat steps 1 to 3 two more times. (Perform 3 times in total.) 5. Turn Ignition switch ON. 6. The SRS lamp has been reset it.
