Description of the problem	The battery went dead on my 1998 honda cr-v. I had it replaced, and discovered that the srs(safety restraint system was disabled as a result of determining that a new battery was needed. I contacted a honda service center and was told that as long as the srs light was on, the air bag system was off and that it would cost about $90 to have it turned off. I also was told to drive it for a week (without protection from the srs and perhaps the computer would recycle and turn the srs back on. My complaint is this: because of poor engineering of the srs system and the computer, honda has forced me to either drive a car without the safety that i bought, or pay a service center to enable the system... All over a real simple repair... Replacing a battery. I can understand the need to reset the clock, radio, or other less essential electronics, but the air bags! Honda is forcing me to spend money that i don't have in order to use a safety system that i feel is essential for driving safety. Honda should enable this system for me at no charge. Please help.
