Is there a way to shut off a blinking air bag light in your 1999 Geo Prism?

Answer 1

I also have a 99 prizm with a blinking air bag light. It started blinking in 2003. Took it to the dealer and they told me it was the SRS module and replaced it for almost $1500 bucks (dealer covered charges). 1 month later, started blinking again. took it back and dealer said it MAY BE the air bag solonoid on the passanger side. This would cost me $900 dollars to replace as that was not covered by warranty. I asked if that was for sure the problem. They responded that it was merely the next step in the flowchart. The SRS module was first, then solonoids, then airbags etc. This could potentially go on infinitum. Hence, You can take a chance and ignore it like I have, or go down the expensive rabbit hole chasing a cure for what is probably a Chevy/Toyota fantom problem. I also have a 99 Prizm, and mine blinks, too! I have no idea why. It stopped a few months ago and has stayed off, but I'm sure it will come back eventually. Good luck! You are dealing with a primary safety device in your vehicle. A device that can save your life. The SRS is not a system that can be worked on by a novice. Serious injury can occur if you do something wrong. The flashing light is an indication that something is wrong with the system. Take the car to you local GM dealer and have it repaired by a pro ASAP. Your life or a family members life may depend on it.
