I have just been checking the airbag fuse, F18, 5A.
It is covered by a yellow cover. How does one remove this fuse? |

Any other ideas ? BTW No sunroof, so footwell flooding is unlikely to have occurred. |

I inspected the 6 way wiring harness inside the rear bumper for the rear parking sensors. (If you have the 12 way harness, this problem will not apply to you as there are no joints to corrode!). There are two joints for the brown and black wires, crimped and wrapped in blue tape. The crimps and wire were extremely corroded and possibly faulty.
See http://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/foru...d.php?t=105060 & http://www.the75andztclub.co.uk/foru...t.php?p=557422 for further details. The joints were remade. Unfortunately the parking sensors still do not work. However, listening to the sensors, I can now hear two out of the four sensors ticking. So I think in the morning, I will remake the joints. Ho Hum !!! Last edited by MarkS; 12th April 2017 at 21:27.. Reason: Added sentance about 12 way harness! |

I have a continuous airbag fault.
FYI I have electric seat adjustment (front/back/lift and tilt, no memory function), seatbelt pretensioners, and (I believe) side airbags in the seat uprights. All connectors under both front seats have been disconnected, inspected for damage and corrosion, and reconnected. The connectors are clipped back into their mounting holes. Under both front seats, there is a 2 pole yellow connector, a 2 pole blue connector, and an 8 pole black connector with 4 wires going to the seat. What do these wires do ? Mr Haynes is rather uninformative. Last edited by MarkS; 12th April 2017 at 12:38.. |

yellow and blue are the pre tensioner and air bag connections
Black is heated / electric seat functions

A problem with either the airbag (yellow) or pre tensioner (blue) wiring will bring the fault light up. Another possible cause is the impact sensors under the carpets, if they get wet corrosion kills them! I'd advise getting the car on a T4 if possible, it will take all the guesswork and frustration out of finding the cause. I thought I'd cured an airbag light only for it to return, I gave up and had the car T4'd, turned out to be nothing to do with the wiring, it was a defective pre tensioner.

The blue connector has yellow wiring going to it, and the yellow connector has guess which colour wiring going to it ??? Were they on acid when they designed this ? |

Hi Mark, If the airbag light fault is not solved by unplugging the yellow and blue plugs, the side impact sensor may be causing the fault. Check both sides for water ingress under the carpets, check sensor for corrosion.
Your reverse sensors, have you checked all four to see if they are clicking? Ignition on, select reverse gear and listen to each sensor with ear up close, if you find one not clicking, that should be the issue causing the fault with the system. |
