Infiniti G35 Coupe (03-07) Seat Airbag Light Repair - Faulty Connector

When I bought this car I spent hours reading on forums/watching videos on how to actually repair this without replacing a $1500 seat and never found a clear video explaining it. There's a ton of videos explaining how to clear the code (which works permanently for a lot of people) but none showing how to possibly FIX the issue if it persists. I filmed this video in June of 2017 and I'm publishing it in December 2017 after 5000+ miles and no airbag light since. Hopefully this helps someone like me out there and saves you a few dollars!

    Cant tell you how thankful I am!! I was at my wits end with this blinking light. Refused to disappear after not being able to reset it for ~4 years but now its gone 🥰

    You solved my problem! Apparently during my reassembly after a complete floor sound deadening, I must of not seated that Yellow Air Bag connector fully... I cleaned the connector with Deoxit an exercised the connector about 5 times to a full "Click " each time..I performed the Learning procedure as you demonstrated....I am now very happy! Thank You. :)

    My 2008 Infiniti G35 has the B1018 code. Front Passenger airbag sensor failure. Can I have that code and it still just be a bad connection. It has a recall for this exact thing on this car but not my specific VIN so Infinit wants to charge me 6 to 8 thousand dollars to fix it.. I live in an inspection state and it won't pass which makes my car worthless. I'm disabled and dont have more money than the car is worth to fix it. Any advice PLEASE
