1998 Infiniti I30 from North America - Comments

Hi, please if more have issues with the air bag, don't stop helping us.

Mine is simple, so it seems.

My 1998 I30 failed inspection yesterday because the mechanic said the air bag light did not come on at all and should for about 6 seconds.

I am simply trying to find the location of the bulb so I can replace it???

I took the dash apart and held a flashlight to each socket and NONE say AIR BAG or ABS or anything.

I even swapped out all the bulbs that never came on like the FUEL etc...

Help!

Ed.

I tried these reset procedures, but I don't know if I am putting the key in the right position. Where is the lock position, and what is considered the on position? By 'on', does that mean I should start the car?

Thank you Thank you

The air bag trick worked after I got the sequence right.

I had this problem back in 2007 and it cost me $250 at the dealership to fix the passenger side harness.

I don't know why this worked, but I'm so happy I didn't have to go back to dealership. I really think they just fix something and reset the system.

Thanks again for sharing this information.

Wow, thanks. I am glad to have found this link. It took a couple of tries, but it worked on my 1998 I30. If there is a problem with it coming on in the future, I will ad a post.

Thanks a $1000.

I have tried all the reset procedures in this entire thread...

I can only manage to get it to go from a rapid blink to a hard 1-2 sec blink, followed by a fast one, followed by nothing for about 2-3 seconds... When trying other methods, I get it back to the fast flashing... does this mean something is really wrong, or would I still be able to take it somewhere to get the flashing to reset?

OMG it worked! I know there are a lot of weird goings on in the world of Nissan, but holy cow. I am grateful and a bit confused. My wife and I just kept looking at each other in disbelief. Thanks for the great tip.
