Default How do i turn off airbag

Long story short, airbag light came on the dealer put a whole new harness in that cost 3500 which after they installed did not turn of the airbag, they said it went off for a second then came back on now they said a need a passengside airbag seat ecu. When will it ever end? Well i never went back, Is there way i can connect something or do a zero point calibration to turn off the airbag? i seriously think the dealer is trying to rip me off i won't go back. i spend 1000 dollars for a rear axle and they belt the backing plate and it made noise after i got it back, they literally suck at customer service i called lexus corp 3 times and got credit but anyway what could i do to turn the airbag light off?

That's what i said is i had it at the dealer they should have checked all that, they said the passenger side ecu airbag harness is bad which i think is a crock of ****. I think they unhooked something to turn it off. I swear i don't trust them with eyes on the back of my head.

Airbag is a safety feature, you need it to work when you need it. Please get it fixed.

In most cars if bulb is out, it beeps to let you know its out

I suspect it's an LED, not a bulb anyway.
