SRS Light and Paperclip DIY

The paperclip DIY does work....my SRS light came on about a month ago and i didnt think to search the forum to find out if there was a reset so i took it to a local mechanic and got charged 325.00 for a new "Airbag Cable Reel Spring" I thought this was BS but i let them do their work and everything was back to normal. About 5 days ago the SRS light came back on so I took it back and the mechanic said i needed a new drivers side seatbelt latch and that would be another 325.00.....i told him no and began my research and found out the paper clip DIY....me and my dad did it about 15 mins ago and it worked on the third try (we kept skipping a step). So i am beginning to think if the mechanic ripped me off with the first 325.00 and was trying to do it again...ill have to see how long it stays off for i guess....just giving everybody a lil heads up when their light goes on to try this before going to Honda or a mechanic...this could save you a lot of money. This is probably a worthless post haha but i just thought i would put in my 2 cents.
