SRS Light Stuck on
![Thumbs Up](https://acurazine.com/forums/images/smilies/thumbsup.gif)
Supplies Needed: 2 wires OR I would suggest 2 Alligator Clips (Radio Shack).
Steps:
1) In order to find the MES Connector on an Accord or CL, you have to be on your back and looking up at the fuse box. There are two plugs that are both yellow with green wires coming out of them, but the looms around the wires are yellow. The smaller of these two plugs is the MES Connector. They are located above the hood release latch and plugged into the backside of the fuse box. Once again, the smaller (upper) plug is the MES Connector.
2) Clip one alligator clip to one of the prongs and the other alligator clip to the other prong. If you're using 2
strands of wire, you won't be clipping, but twisting or shoving the wire into the respective prongs.
3) Hold the two ends of your wire together, so that they are now connected.
4) Keeping the wires connected, turn the ignition on (Do NOT start your car).
5) The SRS light comes on for about 6 seconds and then goes off. Quickly
disconnect the two wires.
6) The SRS light will come on again. Quickly reconnect your wires.
7) The SRS light goes off. Disconnect your wire connection.
8) If you did this correctly, the SRS will blink twice.
9) Turn the ignition off and wait 10 seconds.
10) Turn the ignition on, thus starting your car, and hopefully the SRS light will now be off.
11) Turn your car off, assuming the above instructions worked and your SRS light is off. If not, either retry the
instructions and/or verify that nothing else is wrong.
11) Remove your wires, do not cross them at all or let them touch. Replug the yellow/green connector back into
the "dummy harness".
Problems?
- You only have a 4 second window to connect/disconnect the wires. Example: when the SRS light comes on in
Step 6, you have 4 seconds to reconnect the wires.
- Make sure you have the right connector and that a module or some other part of the SRS system is not
malfunctioning.
- It took me 2 tries to get it right. The main thing to remember is that the wires need to be connected when the
light is on, disconnected when the light is off.
