Resetting Airbag, what plug? (and another question)
Ok.. finally broke out the manual and home made switch to reset my airbag. It says there is a plug off the alarm control box that you ground pins 1 and 2 in 5 second bursts, correlated with the ignition.
What does that plug look like? Where should it be located? I looked up in there and did not see it, and when the car was apart.. did not pay attention to it.
Help is appreciated.

Cool... nuther question...
There is a round gold colored object with a molex connector on it located on the right rear of the passenger footwell, behind the DME. Any idea what it is? I am assuming the molex connector that comes off the DME harness connects to it? That is how I have it now, but I could never figure out what it is.
As for the airbag... I know the connector you are talking about. For some reason, I thought there were more than 2 pins on it, for the test tool output.
Thanks again!

It is a white "Molex" connector, though I'm not sure if Molex actually made it, having looked through the Molex catalog for some lighting stuff.
Anyway, it is a white 3 pin female rectangular connector with one end being a square and the other a V. It is up behind the glovebox by the firewall just sitting with nowhere to go. You do the off and on grounding business with the center connector pin. The sequence is pretty easy to screw up, took me two trys the first time but I have heard of guys going at it a dozen times to finally get it. Get some jumper cables out and ground off the battery and your girlfriend to shout out the 5 second intervals as she looks at the watch.

Correct it is a 3 pin connector, It is not connected anywhere and it is just hanging from under the dash on the passenger side footwell the connector is white but on my car it has a red rubber cover on it. Its not hard to find, all the grounding is done on the number 2 pin, the center one, And to get a good ground i pulled a negative from the battery, make sure your timing is perfect and try it a few times if it doesnt work the first time.

The timing must be precise on the 5 second intervals.
