Morning Chaps,
Yup, this is a FAQ and I've read through the back chat to get some ideas on why this might have occured.
Anyway, airbag light has come on! I've had it reset by my local indy (£25) when getting new brake pads fitted last night.
Problem is, the light turned itself back on again.
Fortunately this happened while I was at the mechanics so we spent quite a bit of time trying a few tests to get it to re-trigger. I felt I got my £25 worth
Sitting in the passenger seat with seatbelt on nothing happened. Bonus.
Then thought it was the drivers pre-tensioner but lo and behold I didn't even get a chance to pull the seat belt and kapow, the light came on again.
So this tells me that it is that little sensor under the seat that is not talking to the airbag sensor. I'm not sure what the problem is and why they're not talking. Seems a little childish to me.
Maybe the airbag sensor tried to mow the airbag sensors lawn or something, butter his bread, that sort of thing.
So, my Indy has suggested taking out the seat to have a look. Seems sensible but as with all these things, "having a look" is all well and good but I'd really like it fixed not just looked at. I can do that for free.
From reading back chat it sounds like I should be telling him to unplug the battery for 30mins before disconnecting the seat regardless. Not sure if this is necessary if the light is already lit? It might confuse the passenger side if he doesn't unplug the battery tho??
Then looking for a wire loom that is not connected is about as good as I can make out....hence my FAQ....what should the wire loom / connector look like, i.e. what am I telling him to plug back together?
NB: I've the whalen seat bushes fitted already. Not sure if that matters.
Many thanks as ever for any contributions.
