Unhappy Airbag light problem

Ok seriously this is getting really annoying, the airbag light just never goes away. I called my local dealer and they said that the recall update for the airbag light was completed. Any way to turn get this light off?
-Thnx

Edit: I have 04 rx8 and when i turn on the car its start flashing then stays on.

Disconnect / reconnect the two harnesses that are under the seat.

Just disconnect the one on the left of the two I did that for both driver and passenger sides when the car was off and it made the light go away for now

if you count the number of flashes, that is actually the diagnostic code, which you can look up in the FSM, which is here Foxed.ca
