did you turn the key on at all with the gauges removed? that would cause it. the srs light is going to have to be reset

when the passenger seat is rarely used does the SRS light and TCS light go on. That happened to me yesterday for the first time. I was drvigin like 10 mph in a parking lot and then i noticed both lights were on. I pulled over and turned off the car and then turned it back on and the lights were off.
Havent had any problems since then. . .any ideas? am i ok?

here is the DIY for the SRS light.

1. under dash left of steering wheel as the driver sits.
2. two wires green in a yellow block (small)
3. smaller yellow block is the right one and is located one inch above another bigger yellow wire block which has a spring loaded connector.


Jump it with the paper clip, turn the car on, wait for the SRS light to go off, yank the paperclip out. It'll light up again, shove the paperclip back in...then it'll turn off. Yank it out. It'll then blink twice to tell you it's reset.

Don't worry about the timings...just do it as soon as you see the light change (and do it quick).

I cut a thin paperclip to about 2cm long, then bent it with needle nosed pliars so it looked like a staple. Then I just used the needle nosed pliars to push it in and out of the plug. Just be careful to shove it into the right side of the plug...the one side of the hole doesn't contact the metal.

i wonder if you keep the light on and you get into an accident, will the airbag deploy or not.

it can be helpful to have someone turn the key while you jam the clip. it doesnt have a lot of slack. its doable either way of course.
