Title: Just as i thought i had sorted all the niggly bits
Post by: xtetx on 22 May 2012, 11:01
My Airbag Fault light came on lastnight! gutted!
spent a fortune this month on new bits and bobs, aRd (ray) fitted my alarm, bora vents, new rear smooth bumper (waiting to be sprayed), n/s wheel bearing.
im guessing that maybe the airbag has expired and needs changing or somthing who knows!
anybody had any common faults with them?

If yours was a 3 door then I'd be suggesting that the wiring loom for the seat airbag had started playing up

i have had a look on the drivers seat, there is a white plug that is unplugged, it looks like it just clips on to something but where i dont know? could this be it?

That white plug clips on to a bracket to stop the loom flapping around  :grin: take the seat out and make sure you havnt snapped a cable ! ...... If the brackets broke just cable tie it on make sure you disconnect the battery though incase the cables are broke and short together  :laugh:

Yeah i thought it was because i checked the other side and it just cliped on to a bracket and the drivers one is snapped!
Ill get it scanned to see which airbag is causing the fault!
nightmare!
