SRS Indicator Light by enzwte

I just got back my Element from the body shop. And notice that my airbag indicator light doesn't turn off. I had my passenger side doors repaired due to deep scratches.And also notice that my radio was not working either. all I had to do is put in my code.I called Honda service and said theres a possiblitlty of low voltage and if they have the means (Body Shop) they should repair it. The body shop told me to wait a little bit to see if it regains more power and the light should go off by itself... Is it something I can do to fix it could it be a fuse that just burned off. THe body shop said they never tampered with the air bags at all and said that the car was open during repair.... Any Advice

Being a former body repair technician my advice is dont touch ANYTHING associated with the airbag system yourself, be it a fuse or a wire dont touch anything. Im all about fixing things myself but that is one part you dont want to mess with if you dont have the proper training. My best guess is the low voltage line is complete bulls...um bull do-do. They didnt touch the airbags at all but in order to refinish the doors they had to take the door apart to pull the door handle out and the weather strip around the window. And there are airbag sensors in the doors. (see where im going with this) They forgot to connect a wiring harness somewhere is my best guess.

Thanks for your information and will take it back to the Body Shop and have them deal with it. I waited 3wks for the car.. The dealership said they would charge me 110.00 to get it repaired. thanks again

CHARGE YOU???? wait a minute here...THEY did the work. It worked before you brought it to them. Nicely explain that you arent paying for something you didnt break. They didnt do the repair properly, its not your responsibility to pay for it. Its what they call in the business a "come-back".

I have daytime running lights . The tail lights work along with all marker's and dash . It will also flash passing lights . When headlight switch is turned to on the dash lights come on ,the daytime go out and the headlights dont come on. The turn lights work fine along with brake. Am I looking for a fuse ,relay or switch.
Park brake is off.

That sounds like when they did the DRL (daytime running lights) that they didnt reattach one of the wires to the harness. Either that or look for a loose or disconnected ground wire. What year is the vehical and where is it located?

checked for ground with a multi meter and grounds seem fine . The car is a 07 . There was no work done on the car to start this , it just stopped working over night .This is why I am thinking a fuse ,relay or switch I have checked the fuses in the panel all seem good,but is there a in line fuse somewhere under the dash?
