SRS reset, 2006 Accord
Long time lurker. I searched far and wide for a good image of the SRS reset connector on a 2006 Accord. SRS light on several months ago, dealer diagnosed and replaced (lifetime warranty) the passenger seatbelt assembly. A month later light back on. They had a hard time diagnosing it, and with Honda technical support, they diagnosed the control unit was intermittent (no charge thankfully), $750 to replace it....
They reset it and a month later light back on. I'd like to reset it once more before getting a used control module (car isn't worth much more than $750 honestly - 250,000 miles, rust in the wheel arches). Searching for the reset procedure, in the location typically described, there are two yellow connectors (above left kick panel). The smaller one is is likely it, as it plugs into a dummy socket (no pins). I haven't pulled the other connector yet to inspect it, but I will tonight. It is a larger connector, but I don't want to chance another problem disconnecting it.
The smaller connector has two wires, brown and blue, no pins in the relay block. Before jumpering it, I'd like to confirm it is the correct one. The though of all the bags blowing is in the back of my mind! If anyone can confirm the location/wire colors for the MES connector, I'd appreciate it!

The Memory Erase Signal (MES) connector is at the under-dash fuse/relay box. It is a 2P yellow connector with one wire being LT GRN/BLK or BLU; and the other wire BLK or BRN.
