Selling a Used Car...

Thanks. I just replaced the battery....but if the SRS button needs to be reset that could be it I guess. It did come on before I put the new battery in. I remember when other dashboard lights came on, they all needed to be reset manually, otherwise they would stay on forever.

 

a private buying company offered me $4500 for my corvette if that gives you any idea how much of a ripoff they are

 

Haha, yeah. That would be a rip off! I figured the prices wouldn't be the best, but it's just so much less of a hassle.

I'm pretty sure I'll just place some ads and deal with people calling/e-mailing all the time. Oh brother, what a pain!

 

You can take the car to most any auto parts store and they will read and reset the light for you for free. Any number of things can set that light off, its more then likely something stupid. By the way price it a little higher than you want, most private buyers will try and negotiate, that way they can talk you down to what you wanted to begin with. Make sure you mention the new timing belt, thats a part of maintenance alot of people neglect due to the cost.

 

SRS stands for Safety Restraint System......aka seatbelts.

 

Yeah, it's related to the airbag though. I had it once before (a few years ago) and my mom's car (also a Honda) had the same issue a week or so ago. It's that the airbag sensor isn't working, so if you're in an accident, it won't deploy. Hmmm...makes me wonder about Hondas!

It could be something else though. I'm sure there are lots of things that make the SRS light come on.

 

I bought my suv on craigslist
