I think the inst/rest light is the airbag and the connections are under the battery and just need scrubbed with a wire brush and you should be ok

Re: A couple things wrong today
Correction it was INFL/REST.
Is there something under each seat that tells the car there is weight in the seat in order to buckle up? |

You have no "INF REST" in the DIC only the red in dash? DO you have both? If there's an issue with the SIR (INF REST) the SEAT BELT in the dash (red) will also light. If you've only the (red) in dash then it's a seat belt issue. If both DIC & dash it's SIR and most frequently is the grounds of both sensors to the frame rails. I'll not mention the cleaning that's covered many, many times. You mention "get rid of" antenna. Do you just want to defeat the power mechanism to keep it down? If that's the case you can just put a demand switch in-line so if you're not an AM/FM listener there's no need for the mast to be up. -=Jeff=- and a couple others have done alternative antenna locations but with what results I'm not sure. I believe location would have a lot to do with "satisfaction". Last edited by WVZR-1; 05-24-2013 at 05:08 PM. |

Re: A couple things wrong today
Thanks guys I have the red seat belt symbol and yellow in the display area that has the INFL/REST.. So I guess both .. I'll look for a thread on cleaning the grounds / sensors on the frame rails..

The pins have gold plating but I have noticed that on a few occasions by unplugging and plugging them back in the problem went away. I then coated them with dielectric grease and that did it. So both the frame rail cleaning etc and these connectors should be considered.

They are a bit awkward to get to, but if you pull the PVC and MAP sensor off (no biggie) then you can get reasonable access to those bolts and the grounds you're interested in, I believe. Shine them with a wire brush or emery cloth, and coat them with dielectric grease before attaching them again. P.
