Airbag warning light

Scimdaz · 15th August 2021, 11:52

I bought the car with 11 months MOT and the warning light on. A year to sort it (LOL).....anyway now 1 month to sort it. I've had the underseat connectors apart and sprayed with switch cleaner. What was previously just a permanent "on" is now: On (with ignition), Off (after the engine fires) and then On again after what feels like an age (probably 5-10 secs).

Does the fact that it appears to be trying to extinguish suggest not much wrong and keep trying to clean it or something more involved, like the control unit I've read about?

(Thanks in advance as ever. After this is sorted it'll be the hand brake and then hopefully another 12 months of MOT)
