Replaced my 02 silverado cd/radio with a 99 cd/radio - airbag light now on
As title says did a radio swap. Took out my non-working factory 02 radio and inserted an almost identical looking radio from a 99 truck. Mounted and plugged in the same.
Radio and cd work fine.
Now my airbag light is on. Poking around the net I see:
1. Disconnect the battery for 3 minutes. All good.
2. Disconnecting the battery for this problem won't work.
3. Turn the ignition switch on and off 3 times then start the truck.
4. #3 is bull and won't work.
5. Take to a dealer and have them use a scanner to re-set the airbag error code. Pay $20 to $80.
6. Take to Autozone and have them re-set with their scanner for free.
Anyone here know the truth? Thanks.
