air bags

bjidde · 3rd April 2010, 06:40

Hi all,

My air bag lights keeps showing on the dash and I dont know exactly what to do about it.

It comes up when I turn the ignition and goes off to come up again after a few minutes drive.

What do you think I can do to stop this.

Thanx

Bjidde

had the same problem on a citroen vtr a few years ago, did the above fix .

but was advised to disconnect the battery overnight , before doing this cant remember why though . sure it was something to do with they might go off if you just unplug them

......... not sure if this is the same for rovers ???????????????

Can't remember seeing anything about that but you might be right and it wouldn't do any harm. Come to think of it the usual advice when removing seats is battery off just in case you set an airbag off. Normally states for half an hour or an hour though rather than overnight. If you do disconnect the battery remember to shut the satnav down properly and make sure you have the radio code (assuming you have a satnav and/or radio).

Have the checked the connecters under the seat, Make sure that they are in nice and tight

As a newbie this was my first ailment - it wasnt quite as straight forward as tight connectors for me - I ended up putting in three threads (instead of continuing one) but here you go: Hope your fault just needs the connectors fiddling with
