Technical Help with clearing error codes

[SouLz]

You need the battery to read fault codes, but don't forget disconnect battery 30 mins before touching airbags.

A flashing airbag light means there is a fault clearing itself so the light goes out. All fine until you have a crash and the vibration disconnects it just when you need it.

Mine showed a side airbag fault which meant the seats and/or the connector above the top right of the glove box. All were disconnected and sprayed with contact cleaner. As I said also the seat cables were carefully tied to avoid them pulling when the seats are moved.

The signal currents are small so insulation touching hard on metal bodywork can also cause a fault. Make sure the actual wires cant rub where they are exposed near the connectors.

Thanks for the advice will have a look (Y)

Yours is probably be the airbag switch itself but see if the connector above the glovebox sorts it.

Evening Dave.

Has the buyer collected the car yet?

Your donation to the "Shadeyman Guinness Fund" was most enjoyable, thanks.

I've got a bad feeling about it. If he's not contacted me by the weekend I'm putting it up again.

Guinness? You're welcome mate!!!

Its sad to see the car going. But has to be done.

Bad feeling?

You mean he may not turn up?

Did he/she have plenty of good feedback?
