Eric, Pennsylvania does not fail vehicles for safety inspection based on any warning lights on with one exception, the BRAKE warning light. If someone tells you an airbag or ABS light fails safety inspection, they are incorrect. I have been doing this since 1977 and I have heard this crap many times. Even the BRAKE warning light is not a failure as long as the only reason it's on is due to an ABS issue. Love the vids, John, owner, West Shore Auto Care, Inc.

You can stop the carpet from smelling, especially if you catch it fast, by getting under the carpet, shoving towels under there to get most of the water out, and then spraying bleach like Clorox Cleanup or something similar all under there. Then keep hitting it with lysol spray every day while it dries. I have also put my dehumidifier in there - remove a seat - and run it for several days. It's a PITA drying it out. Then you have to trace the leak.

SRS light wouldn't turn off in my 2003 Elantra GT. I disconnected the neg battery cable and moved the yellow SRS connectors under the seats and dash. The light now goes off. Either disconnecting the battery reset a bad signal or moving the connectors removed a little corrosion. All connectors are somewhat loose - cheap parts?
After reading most of the comments I realized I made the mistake of posting something useful.

My car had a right front turn signal that was always on. Dealership diagnosed the headlight assembly as faulty. I found the signal acquisition model that controlled the turn signals. I removed it and found it had corrosion just like this. I cleaned the board with isopropyl alcohol. Let it dry overnight. Reinstalled and the issue was resolved. This one may have been too far gone though.

Huh, I wouldve thought the airbag sensor/computer module would be in the direct centre of the car. It is in mine and it makes sense being there - its also on a perfectly flat surface. But that may be because my car is also equipped with traction control, which needs accelerometer and gyroscope data and whatnot. I wonder if being in different locations affects how they work?

Congrats on 100K. I like your style of shooting video. If you were in southern Ontario, I would bring my cars to you with no hesitation. I'm a backyard non-mechanic, who doesn't do a lot other than brakes when the weather is nice, since we have Toyota and Honda. 20 years ago my wife's Dodge was almost weekly. Its fun to see inside of things these days.

Why do car makers insist on putting electronics modules right where water is going to end up pooling when sunroof drains get blocked or door seals leak. Yeah, I know they're not supposed to have water down there but it's bound to happen as a vehicle gets older. P. S. Definitely gonna get me one of those Astro LED lights: )

Wait a minute, at 2: 36 you say that 1d fuse feeds the airbag warning light and the airbag module itself, so if that fuse blows, you Will have no airbag because the module is dead, and you won't even know that because the warning light doesn't light up. Am i right?

In my experience, SDMs etc. are almost always located in the direct centre of the car, in my case, under the centre console, and on a flat surface. I guess if youre not getting any guidance on where to go from the manuals, perhaps start there.

I had a car do this (water retention) given the age of the vehicle my solution would be to just drill some holes in the rear floorboards and let it weep out. this worked for me for several years.
I used to say a river runs through it.
