I put a new airbag in it and followed the instructions from the internet. Only thing is the light blinks several times when I turn it on and then continues to stay on. Need help!

You need a Tech2 scanner to have that reset and that means a trip to the dealer or a transmission shop. Most transmission shops have a Tech2 scanner now help them repair the new transmissions out today and there price is much better then dealer price and i am sure if you service the transmission, that would be a win win situation. Only one price to your situation. ;)

You cannot clear the codes pertaining to the airbag by disconnecting the battery. These codes can only be cleared with a tech2 at the dealership. You probably don't need another SDM, just have the codes cleared by the dealer. If you have replaced everything, clearing the codes properly with a tech2 is all that is necessary.

The codes are stored in the square shiny box/module under the front passenger side seat under the carpet. Just make sure everything is connected properly before clearing codes. Ask yourself, if you replaced one SDM, why would the codes come back unless they were also stored in another module (BCM?). So will they come back again after another $500? Try clearing the codes properly before spending hundreds of dollars.

Keep us posted and be safe.
