Advice please
Today when driving the air bag dash light glowed and has continued to stay on.
Questions. a) How does one know which air bag (or more) might be faulty? b) Could it be something simple such as, just a fuse etc? c) How best can this be fixed? d) Is this an expensive outlay? |

Only thing that will tell you the cause of the airbag light is connecting the car to a T4.
99% of the time the cause is the connectors under the front seats, two under each seat, one for the airbag (thick yellow sleeve), one for the seat belt pretensioner (thick blue sleeve), a problem with either can trigger the light. Disconnect the battery, wait 20-30 minutes. Unplug the underseat connectors, spray with an electrical contact cleaner then plug/unplug several times to clean the contact surfaces, do that with all four connectors. |

When mine did this this - just went under the front passenger seat - felt the connectors and one was not completely in -so pressed it home firmly and light went out. Usually caused when the seats are moved on their runners when the passenger adjusts the seat.

If working on the underseat connectors doesn't cure it then I'd look for a T4 as trying to diagnose the cause by guesswork and elimination can get very frustrating, I'm speaking from experience
Terry at TS Autos in Stourbridge is the nearest T4 that I know of. If you need it I can PM his contact number. |
