twobears Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 (edited) Got my Roadster back from its MOT last week and the airbag light came on next time I drove it. Car was delivered to the house and parked in the Zed Shed (not THE Zed Shed obviously ) so I didn't notice the fault straight away. Garage isn't open yet and I will call the chap when he does open but I just wondered if the airbags can be switched off manually?

saiper Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 You could always just reset it - 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cragus Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Or check the connections under the seat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MITZ@CougarStore Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 They may have moved the seat and disturbed the connections under the seat, worth having a look at this first... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ricey Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 make sure you've not left a drinks bottle rattling round under there.........thats usually the bugger that sets it off! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saiper Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Well, despite me recommending the reset option, (which initially seemed to work for me) my airbag light is now on as well. Irony. J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seabee Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 I just bought two 2200ohm resistors from maplins and put them on the seat airbag plugs its a real problem on 07 zeds as they have a pressure sensor on the passenger seat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrumbMC Posted April 11, 2013 Share Posted April 11, 2013 Thanks for the vid post saiper. i have had the airbag light on for ages (weird, as i started typing this a news report about Japanese airbag problems came on). i read how to do it before but the video made it much easier to understand. lights off now, yay!

M13KYF Posted April 12, 2013 Share Posted April 12, 2013 Well, despite me recommending the reset option, (which initially seemed to work for me) my airbag light is now on as well. Irony. J. check the connectors under the seat, disconnect and replug. Then redo the reset procedure. If still no good then you may have a break in a wire in the loom in the rear section of the seat. Luckily the seat cover has a zip at the back so not to difficult to access. Fin the break and solder and repair. You could get an auto electrician to sort this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
