Quick fx for "airbag Failure" "Stop Engine"

Right then, I have done this fix to all three stilo's in my family and since then we haven't had 1 "Airbag Failure" "Stop Engine" since.

First go to Maplins or Halfords and buys some electrical conductive paint. It costs between £5 and £10.

Locate the orange terminals under each seat. On stilo's with the sliding rear seats they also have an Airbag weight sensor terminal in orange just the same as the front seats.

Next unconnect the terminals.

Paint some of the conductive paint onto the male end of the terminals with a small paint brush. The type you would find in a stone chip paint repair pencil or a cotton bud.

Next while the paints is still wet put the connector back together.

Give it 10 minutes to dry and wallar. No more "Airbag Failure" "Stop Engine"

Easy

I think what happens is that as the paint dry's it sticks 2 sides of the terminals together permanantly and thus stops the warning. But yes you can still pull them apart if necessary.

Before I did this the system was always going off especially in the Multiwagon with sliding rear seats.

It maybe worthwhile spraying some switch cleaner in first and letting it dry off but I honestly can't remember if I did before using the paint as it is now probably 6 months since we last had a failure.

Before that I was always spraying the dambed things with switch cleaner which I must say did work for a few weeks before the dredded "BEEP BEEP BEEP" "AIRBAG FAILURE" "STOP ENGINE".

Cool eh.
