Can someone explain the Shogun reset process to me?

As the title states, I want to try this out. I understand unhooking the + and - cables, but what does it mean to "short them" (just touch them to each other?) Thanks for your help and sorry for the dumb question.

There's no such thing as a dumb question, only dumb answers

Short out - means all of the capacitors in the computers loose their charge and therefore memory. Yes, the cables won't reach each other so just use a long metal pole (screw driver) and make sure nothing touches the battery during the process. I used a couple of pieces of carpet on top of the battery to make sure that didn't happen. Do a search for the procedure, or his website...

It's that simple.

Disconnect battery, and cross the leads and sing a few bars of Deutschland Uber Alles.

It clears the memory of most of the systems, with the exception of the dreaded SRS warning light.

Thanks for your help guys, but I'm still not understanding this 100%. I did search beofre posting the question and these are the steps I'm going by.

1. disconnect battery cables, first -, then +
2. turn ignition on position II
3. connect both battery cables ("short") for at least 10 minutes for drain of remaining power out of the system
4. ignition off
5. connect battery cables again to battery, first +, then -

I still don't fully understand step # 3 though.

After discharging, turn the lever above the stock and remove the spent shells. Install new shells, close the breach and press the hammers down with your thumb.

...riiiiiiiiiight Josh

Anyways, step three means connect the cables together. Like I said I used a screwdriver and put it through both holes of the battery cables (thus completing the circuit. Does this answer your question?

I was hoping it would clear my SRS but I read that it wouldn't. I am not taking it to the stealership to clear either. I am finding a way to do it myself...

I appreciate your clarifying this. I have wondered the same thing.

That helps. Obviously you have to connect both of the cables to the metal part of the screwdriver, correct??

Yes this in addition to the key in pos 2 will allow electrons to flow through the entire circuit thus 'shorting it out'

Wait until after you do it man you are gonna flip

Alright thanks for your help man. I feel like such a dumbass asking such a basic question lol.
