So, it was working when I drove to Randy's house SAT 4-16 to do the 6" Bazooka woofer upgrade on his and my leafs (which sounds very good by the way) but when I was done (10+ very long hours later) the airbag disabled light was on on the center console. In addition, the red airbag icon and the red triangle exclamation point icon were both flashing on the center display gauge cluster (and have ever since). I've prodded, kicked, tweaked the seat and everything else I could think of including pulling the battery (again) and reconnecting and... nothing... no change. The manual says it's time for Nissan to look at it. I did slide the passenger seat forward and backward all the way a few times when running the wires under the side molding and may have banged the seat stops a time or too but not really that hard (or so I think). Did I get the seat to think the car had been in a accident? Sheese. Man this stuff is sensitive. I've read some posts on other Nissan forums where the passenger seat airbag has also gone on the blink (ah... hence the name of my infamous EVSE?).
At least the car still runs fine otherwise (and we were actually successful finding the right wires to tap on to in spite of the service manual having errors in the wiring diagram). Ya shoulda seen us. Two electrical engineers scratching their heads 6 hrs into it. Man I tell you if we were being paid to do this work we'da been fired (it took so long). Randy insisted we forge ahead with what we could deduce from "a preponderance of evidence." We did and he was right. Worked perfectly.
Anyone know of any tricks I might try before biting the bullet and heading off to the dealer?
