Fiddlebog ... this is worth a try
Disconnect the battery and leave it that way for at least 10 mins (longer if poss).
Make sure you leave a window open or similar so you cant get locked out.
Some people like to connect the + and - battery terminals together, (with the battery disconnected of course) anyway the idea is to discharge the cars systems

When you reconnect the battery there will be a bit of a splat so be ready for that and the alarm will probably go off so be ready with the key to stop it.

Reconnecting the battery will reboot your car and clears a lot of glitches in your cars systems and MIGHT clear the air bag light ... it's a great way to get rid of a whole host of errors like engine lights etc ....

Can't hurt .... no different to a normal flat battery, just like rebooting your pc or phone
