Airbag light (FIAT NEWBIE)

Hi Guys

My sister has just bought a 2001 Marea Weekend for the reasonable sum of £500. The only issue we have found so far is that the airbag light is on (and has been for over a year apparently) Can anyone help with this, should I be looking for loose connections under the seats etc? in saying that I am not sure if it has side airbags for there to be wires present but its just a thought.

The other thing, the headlights are set very low on both high and low beam, the internal adjuster is set to zero so all ok there, is there an adjustment we can make under the bonnet to improve things easily?

Andy

If you want the airbag light off - you need to take it to a friendly garage and have them clear the errors - then you can see what's causing the trouble.

its a very common problem, and in many cases paying to have the light put out is pointless because it comes back on a few days later. you need to find the fault, then fix it, then reset the airbag ecu. only then will the light stay off.

and possibly lose your life?

Sensible advice would be to take to reputable garage to get it sorted once & for all.
