Air bag warning light
The air bag warning light on my 06 MG ZT will not extinguish. I have taken it to my garage several times and they have attempted a repair but it only lasts for a day or two before the light comes back on. I am not at all technically minded and the explanations the garage gives me as to what they have tried do not mean a lot. I know that they have removed the front seats on a couple of occasions. Does anyone have any suggestions?

Under both front seats are blue plugs & yellow plugs. Unplug & spray with contact cleaner. Plug together & unplug several times to clean the pins. Should help.

Ahem.. there's a procedure with fiddling around with airbag connectors which i believe involves disconnecting the battery for at least 15 mins?

Does that mean the capacitors are inactive too? I thought you needed to allow them to dissipate? I have the same airbag light problem, on the passenger side I think. May try rubbing (lightly) Vaseline on the pins after contact cleaner to improve the contacts.

When I did mine, I left the existing connectors in place, and used scotch-lock connectors in parallel, worked OK albeit probably not one for the purists.
I beleive there is a technical bulletin around, about the connectors failing because of some gas that is emitted by the foam used in the seats |
