airbag and service light on

[little Dean]

i have a 172 clio sport and the airbag and service light keep going on and off the wires under the seat have already been jointed to bypass the plug as that is a common fault im told could it be anything else ?

It is more than likley to be the wires under the seat.

Have they been soldered together? Id snip them and get a choc bloke or conector and re wire them together. mines was on for ages. 2 minute fix tbh!

Seat belt warning light

The SERV and AIRBAG lights come on its a common problem (almost every has it) its due to the wiring of the pretensioners going to an open circuit. Fiddle with the wires under the seat an the problem will go away.
On the early cars the solution is to look under each of the seats. You will see a grey connector.
On the passenger side disconnect it and cut the Blue and Brown wires off both sides. Then solder the Blue wire to blue, and the Brown to the other brown. Make sure you use insulating sleeves over the soldered connections..
Under the driver seat there are two pairs of wires in the grey connector.. Only cut the Blue and Brown wires and solder them together as above.. Reconnect the connector..
On the facelift cars it is ONLY the passenger side connector that is affected.. So again cut and solder the Blue and brown wires.

this problem is discussed all the time though.

Get the car plugged into a computer see what is setting it off might be a rear belt sensor

Pull the lid off the steering column (no screws) and check the connection behind that. That's what caused the airbag and service light on mine a while ago.
