air bag light and mot

[mcjacko1987]

dunno if iv posted in the right place but anyway here goes.

my mot is due around middle of this month and my air bag light is on (came on after i took dash out to spray and has been on since i replaced it).
now i know im silly not getting it sorted already. but im just wondering if this will fail mot?
my theory is no because you can get after-market steering wheels without airbags, but then again im thinking if the warning light is displayed then its a different matter.
can anyone lighten me on this? and if anyone can tell me how to fix it?
i did change the coil spring as the one installed fired out at me lol. so i used one from another punto. could that have caused it? i have wound and reassembled the old coil spring back up but if it aint that then its not worth messing about with it to put the old one back on.

anyways the main question is will the light fail my mot?
if so how can i sort it before the mot?

If it fails on the bulb being lit, and the airbag works, take out the bulb

no, it won't. My Xsara is French, so the airbag light is also on and that passes fine.

well a mate will be doing it for me at his garage so he probs turn a blind eye on it. how do i go about fixing it anyways?

Sounds like you have knocked a wire to the Airbag ECU. It wont fail the mot though.
