Airbag & serv light

[Simmie]

On my clio 172 cup track car I have removed all my airbags, fitted resistors to all of the plugs inclluding the pre tensioners but the lights would go out then come on again after a few seconds, so today I took the airbag ecu out too & now the lights just stay on all the time. How can I get theses lights out & keep them out properly. Not using black tape method.

If you take the airbag ECU out entirely the lights will probably stay on because the system detects there is a "fault" with the airbag ECU. The only thing I can think of is that the resistors were not of the correct resistance. Maybe the same as the black tape method, but you could remove the bulb from the back of the cluster? I know personally I wouldn't want black tape on my gauges, but I wouldn't mind taking the bulb out.
Edit: were the lights on before you removed the airbags etc? May be a stupid question, and you probably already know this, but on the clios the airbag ecu goes quite often because someone spills a drink in the cup holder and it drips through...

I've removed all of mine and relocated the loom to where the passenger airbag was under the dash and for the time being I've had to leave the 2 side impact sensors connected as normal to keep the light off, until I can get them removed properly on gen renault computer

Not sure where you are but if it's anywhere near Westbury in Wiltshire I'd be happy to run my diagnostics on your car and give you a hand to trace which ones are playing up.

Just rip it all out and bin it, then remove the bulbs on the dash.

get em clipped out.

You'll need to keep the air bag ECU (and the impact sensors I thnk) if you want to turn the light off with CLIP.

@AlexW will be able to confirm.

Yeh the airbag ecu will need to stay so clip has somthing to work with on deleting the codes
