the only thing I can think of is unplug the battery and unplug the SRS switch underneath ( you should have seen when you took off the steering wheel) wait about 7 min to reset itself and plug everything back in.

My suggestion take it to the honda dealership to get fixed. You dont want to **** with the SRS its put there to save your life trust it did me. Let someone who knows what they are doing to work with it. Just my 2 cents though

O.K., here is the DIY for resetting the memory for your SRS Light. Your SRS Light may trigger and remain illuminated for several reasons. Some of which are:
Unplugging your gauge cluster
Unplugging your SRS harness(es) when you remove your seats
Unplugging any other SRS plugs and turning your ignition on
This DIY is intended ONLY for resetting your SRS Indicator Light when it is triggered for the reasons listed above. Your SRS Light may indicate a more serious problem that should be evaluated by your local Authorized Honda/Acura Technician. Remember, that airbag may save your life or the life of someone you care about so don't disregard that indicator light unless you are sure that it triggered for some other reason. That being said, here are some pics and instructions for resetting the SRS Light (note: These pics are from a 6th Gen Accord EX Coupe 4AT. The MES plug may be located in a different location on other models. Make sure you know what you are unplugging. There are no contacts inside the port that the MES Plug plugs into.)
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. It should look like this.
(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.
(5) Sound easy enough? Should take 15 seconds or so for the whole procedure. Good luck.

^^^^damn good post above^^^^
just wanna point out two things:
MAKE SURE THE MES plug is plugged into a DUMMY harness, i.e. no wires coming out of it. I actually found mine on my '97 Accord EX right above the hood latch lever. It's not in the fuse box like many have said.
MY OTHER POINT, JUST USE A PAPER CLIP to stick into the harness rather than stripping the plug off to the bare wires.
follow the 6-4-6-second instructions above and you'll be surprised at how easy it is to disable!
