Hi all,

I recently lost my 1998 Nissan Maxima grill to a collision that occurred on my way to Warri from PH. My airbags (steering and dash-board) were deployed as a result. Miraculously, apart from one head lamp which I have already changed plus the above mentioned, everything is OK with the car. I'm sick of seeing 'airbag' displaying in the dash-board and need it fixed as well; at least so the light/sign could go away.
Kindly note that I bought this car directly from the US just 3 months ago and still badly in love with it. Anyone with useful info on how to go about solving my problem should please comment or better still mail me at dpgall@yahoo.com.

See pix below.

i own a similar car, u can go to ladipo market in lagos for the airbags and front grill then reset the airbag light if it does not clear. i doubt if you will find it at ikoku market in PH.

cheers

Thanks 'D'

Sorry I have been away and only just seeing your post.
Guess I'll try Lag then.
Thanks again.

for the airbag light i cleared mine with this procedure i googled from the net. This will work if your airbags/bag do not have a physical defect in that case replace. You can also go to www.maxima.org for questions regarding maxima. it is a forum. Do not allow electricians work on the dashboard with the intention of clearing lights on the dashboard. Leave all lights and work on the issues so that lights on the board go off on their own. The maxima is a very nice car but electricians can kill it easily.

1) Open the driver's side door.
2) Put the key in the ignition and turn to ON (but don't start the vehicle)
3) Within 7 seconds of turning the key to ON, push the driver's side door switch button at least 5 times.
4) The Air Bag light should go solid, give it at least 7 seconds, and it should begin to blink a 3 second, 2 second on/off pattern.
5) Turn ignition to OFF and remove key.
6) Start vehicle, and wait for the Air Bag light to turn off to verify that it worked

Thanks again D u're the man!
But would it work since my air bags were deployed as a result of the hit? Do I classify that as a physical defect?

it will not work, but after replacement it may be flashing so u can use the procedure

Cool!
Thanks.
