Default 1999 Civic SRS Reset

I was searching the net to find a way to reset the SRS light on a 1999 Civic, when I ran across this link, which referred to an Accord :

The Civic "reset plug" is a bit different. There is a 2-pin yellow connector that is plugged into the face of the fuse box. The connector contains 2 green wires. This connector is simply being "stowed" there, instead of hanging free in a wire bundle. It is not connected to any electrical pins, but is plugged into a fake recepticle. Unplug it, and follow the instructions for resetting the SRS light. It worked great for me, and saved me a trip to the dealer (and $80)

1. turn ignition switch off, unplug the yellow service connector from the fuse box. (remember, it is NOT connected electrically, it is just stowed there). It is above the fuses, towards the top-right.
2. use a paper clip, or a piece of wire to connect (jump) the 2 pins in the connector
3. turn ignition switch on
4. SRS light will come on for 6 secs then go out, remove the jumper within 4 secs after the light goes out.
5. the SRS light will come on again, reconnect the jumper within 4 secs after the light has come on.
6. the SRS light will go off, remove the jumper with in 4 secs after the light has gone off.
7. the SRS light will blink 2 times indicating the memory is reset.
8. Turn the ignition switch to off and wait for 10 seconds.
