You guys need to buy a manual 99% of the questions I see on HT could be answered by having it.

here is a quick version <97-01 preludes>

connect the jumper wire to both pins on the airbag service connector (the one that does not have wires plugged into it, under the steering wheel)

turn the ignition to on

the srs light will go on for 6 sec then go off

quickly disconnect one of the jumper wires within 4 sec

the light will come on again, reconnect the jumper within 4 sec

the light will come on again, disconnect the jumper

the light will blink 2 times and go off if you did it correctly

turn the ignition off wait 10 seconds before turning it back on again if you want

(It is also much easier if you have a real piece of wire, not a paper clip)

if im not mistaken i think this plug is by the check engine light plug...which is located in by the drivers leg...its a yellow plug thats plugged into a dummy ...

like i said im not 100% sure where its located...but the proceedure on top is correct..

thanxx

yeah... im sure all the auto manufacturers out there shell out billions of dollars on airbags to make it ineffective and to possibly hurt you too.

this was very helpful.. for those who does not know what the wire looks like.. its a yellow connector... ( the manual says green or grey) with green wiring.. with nothing plugged into the 2 pin connector.

I see the yellow connector under my steering, however I don't see a place to plug anything into. Do I have to unplug the yellow connector going into the thing and use that port or am I missing something? thanks

Hence, why the prelude forum sees less and less of mgags every day.

yep use the 2 wire MES connector under the driverside dash an follow the procedure

connect the jumper wire to both pins on the airbag service connector (the one that does not have wires plugged into it, under the steering wheel)

turn the ignition to on

the srs light will go on for 6 sec then go off

quickly disconnect one of the jumper wires within 4 sec

the light will come on again, reconnect the jumper within 4 sec

the light will come on again, disconnect the jumper

the light will blink 2 times and go off if you did it correctly

turn the ignition off wait 10 seconds before turning it back on again if you want

when the clock spring is damaged, does the cruise control switch engage at all? (i.e my cruise control light is not on on the switch and on the dash board)

did you buy the clock spring used or new?

Wrong, there is a split in the 5th gen clock springs, ie 97-98 and 99-01.<TABLE WIDTH="90%" CELLSPACING=0 CELLPADDING=0 ALIGN=CENTER><TR><TD>Quote, originally posted by kmart64 &raquo;</TD></TR><TR><TD CLASS="quote">I have a prelude clock spring for sale if you need it. (97-01)</TD></TR></TABLE>

Yes, that is true. But when you look at the Honda part numbers they are the same...There is a difference though because I found the hard way even though majestichonda had the same part numbers...
