Airbag / service light

[Drew_182]

Has started coming on intermittently. Can be driving along and will come on for a bit then go back off. Sometimes doesnt appear for days then will come on for a day or two sometimes only 5 mins...

Any ideas? :/

​cheers!

I've tried wiggling the wires but to no avail. Is soldering wires together an option?

Have you changed your steering wheel?

 

[Drew_182]

Nope, not changed a thing, cars totally standard. Just randomly started coming on

On my daughter's 1.2, I took off the passenger side door airbag key switch & cleaned with swich cleaner. Also turned the airbag key on & off afew times and it's never come on again.

Only started doing it since came back from body shop but was only getting bonnet re-sprayed so he won't have touched anything that would affect it??

There is a crash scensor under the seat bolted to the sill. Mines was faulty, replaced it with one of ebay, light came on again a day later so that one is also faulty, Must be a common problem.

Is there no way to identify the problem without throwing money away?

Not that I want to hijack this thread but I've just changed my wheel (Snappy one, awesome quality highly recommend!) done a search can't find any answers.

I reconnected the same airbag unit up, both green and orange connectors and the horn connector, the battery was disconnected for over an hour prior to fitting and now the airbag/serv light won't go off.
