Here's the answer....
You can reset the SRS light yourself:
not too much to worry about when doing this procedure. You can reach the MES control on the it by going under the driver side dash. If you look on the other side of the driver side fuse box in the foot well, you should be able to see this yellow tab with 2 wires sticking into it. The rest of the instructions are below. And yes you can use a paperclip. Another thing to note, if the SRS light came on becuz of a direct SRS defect, then doing this procedure wont mess nothing up. if there's a problem, then this procedure just wont work and the light will remain on.
----------------------------------------------------
Tools needed:
Flashlight (if needed to search for MES Plug under dash)
2 1/2 ft. piece of small gauge speaker wire (insulation stripped off ends)
(1) Locate MES Plug. It should be located near the driver's side fuse panel under the dash. The harness is yellow with two wires.
(2) Unplug the MES Plug.
(3) Insert one end of speaker wire into MES Plug (one wire in each contact)
(4) Follow this sequence of shorting the other two leads of the speaker wire and turning the ignition to "on" (not accessory, not start)
-Short and hold the leads while you turn the ignition to on. The SRS Light will illuminate for a few seconds then go off.
-When the SRS Light goes off, unshort the wires. The SRS Light will come back on.
-Short and hold the wires again. The SRS Light will go off.
-When the SRS Light goes off, unshort the wires. The SRS Light will blink twice.
-Turn the ignition off.
-Start engine as normal. The SRS Light should illuminate for a couple of seconds as normal and then go off.
(4a) This series of shorting/unshorting needs to take place within a 4 second window of the SRS Light going on/off each time.
Hope this helps?

this^^^ does work, but is sometimes temporary, and only works if ur srs light is on from an open code, or having ur seat unplugged
It will work. I had to do this when I removed my seats. But as said before if there is an actual problem the SRS will proceed to come back on.
i searched out the reset procedure a couple days ago, i'll be trying it tomorrow. hope this really does work. i think i tripped mine turning my ignition on with my cluster unplugged, trying to diagnose a wiring issue from the cluster swap.

After you "Start engine as normal. The SRS Light should illuminate for a couple of seconds as normal and then go off", do I re-connect the MES plug with the engine still on or do I turn the ignition off and re-connect it?
Thought this clip from Youtube should help many peeps.

ThankŽs! IŽll try this.
