| My 2003 acura 3.2tl was put in service in august, 2003. recently, the srs light has come on and the dealer's service department is now making the second attempt to correct it; however, they advised me in writing as follows: advised customer not to leave any electrical device on pass seat, will cause light to go off i.e., cell phone in my wife's pocketbook could turn srs off. this explanation does not seem plausible. if the system is that sensitive, it is not dependable! | |||
