No airbag light
« on: 14 April 2016, 22:29 »
So I recently replaced the airbag/abs warning light panel on my mk3, and noticed that the abs light was on but no airbag light. And after getting the abs sorted it now goes off after starting up the car. But the airbag light never actually turns on and after using a fault codes reader on the car I found a fault with the airbag resistance being too high. How can I get the light to work. Also the airbag and abs light didnt work on the old panel either.

I think he wants it to come on to show its doing a self test, as if it doesn't illuminate it will fail the mot
