In your original picture, the wiring colours don't match each side of the connectors. Have you found out the correct way to connect the wires?

If not, you could still have the same problem because of that.

Your glovebox connector looks original. You could try disconnecting it and cleaning the contacts with electrical contact cleaner.

I did solered the wires the same way as they where connectet in the start, it must be the right way if they where connecet that way, but still don´t know for 100% yet ;S

hmm yeah thats the photo of the connector in the glov box, but the wires do not match the wires in the seat, yeah i think i will give it at go cleaning them, i tryed to reconect them but nothing happend :S

Can the D4 connector give Airbag failure if it is wet?

 

[Terham]

hehe we have a Fiat dealer here,

yeah here are a few Fiat cars driving, not much off stilo :S

I just wish some had a photo of the wires on the seats with the same color as mine :bang::bang:

The connector above the gloveboax is for the passenger airbag. It is nothing to do with the connectors under the seats, so the colours of the wires will not match the wires under the seats.

The airbag wiring does not go through the D4 connector.

okey, then I think im out of ideas and luck :S,

don´t know what to try next with this dame airbag failure

 

[Davren]

Unfortunately, it's not only the connectors you've checked that can cause the "Airbag Failure" warning. There are also several other connectors and sensors and the ECU (Electronic Control Unit) that could be fault and cause the warning to illuminate.

The Fiat Examiner diagnostic equipment would be able to tell which circuit the fault is in. Alternatively, some independant garages may have the Bosch or SnapOn equipment that can also read Fiat airbag faults.

[Terham]

ahh okey, then i just need to take it to the fiat dealer, thx for the help everyone
