Air bag light

Hello everyone,
I have just repleced the deployed air bags in my alfa 147 but the air bag
light still on, I can't afford going to any alfa romeo main dealer. Can
anybody knows how to get rid of the light?
Please help mates
Cheers

It needs hooking up to the dealer's computer to do it.

It's not something you can do at home unless you splash out the money
for a cable and software..... which isn't cheap.

The obvious question is why were they deployed!

116 with airbags????

Nah, but I do have the warning light on the 156 since I had to fettle some
indicator connections

Well, no I was sort of thinking about the various 'Alfa Control' lamps
flashing away like Blackpool Illuminations.

LOL. At the moment I've got the airbag light (been on at least 18
months) and a bulb warning light - but it's a sidelight, and I never
drive on sidelights alone, or park with them on, so it can wait until
warmer and drier weather before I do battle with the bulb-holders.

Heh. Both myu sidelights seem to have failed at the same time, so I have
that too.

The 75 check control in my 116 does a full on disco thing in cold weather.
*all* the warning lights flash utterly at random for a few minutes.......
