Yesterday I went to go out on my car n the air bag lights come up in the dashboard does anyone know what it would be ? That's the only light that's come up but the same day the power steering went n it was like a tank till turned the car off n on ? Can any one help please ?

Get battery tested

get battery main earth cable tested

both failures appearing together could very well be voltage related issues


sadly the airbag system will need resetting unless you find a local member or buy the relevent ELM / airbag patch lead and a copy of fiat MES (multi ecu scan) might as well fix the voltage issue first though as it will only come back on... (that and the test will possibly show a voltage issue)

It can't be battery as only just had a new one about 2 week ago now how or who would I go about getting the airbag reset?

Why did you replace the battery....

Check the earth and alternator

What it was I bought the car with no mot for £600 as it had bin stud for half a year but it was only like a new battery new springs on front n the shocks on the back n a new fuse box but it went straight through the mot n now the airbag light has come up but the day it come on the steering went like it was tank till I restarted the car then it's bin fine ever since its really bugging me as I want to keep the car but if it's just gunner keep giving me problems then I can't see the point ?

for the 2 issues to happen close together im I'd look into all voltage issues in the electrical gramalin FAQ in the stickies

That's a hell of a lot of work for a car that's been stood for 6 months, and I'd suggest those problems were nothing to do with being stood for such a short period of time and more likely due to larger existing problems.

As Andy Monty had already pointed out it's likely to be voltage related especially if you have had to have a new battery and fuse box and you've had random self fixing steering lights as well.
