Airbag Warning Light HELP (after search)

[MadUsa1]

right folks, I have now stuffed various resistors into the black connectors under the bucket seats of my Trophy, but alas the damn airbag light stays firmly on.

Anyone know what might be the issue? After fitting the resistors, do I need to re-set anything? I didn't disconnect the battery while fitting these, not sure if that's important??

This is an old thread of mine, however have still not sorted the problem.

could it be loose wires..dont know if its the same thing but my air bag light comes on and I wiggle the wires under the passenger seat and it goes off.

Tried that.

 

[pinky]

have another go...sometimes mine dont turn off straight away...I normally turn the car off, wiggle the wires and then start it up...can take a few goes at it.

 

[cherry bomber]

im having exactly the same prob,need a pic of where to put the resistors in the larger grey and yellow connector as there are a few brown and orange wires in it

 

[MadUsa1]

Tried all the wiggling and ignition on/off tricks you can imagine - nothing works.

I don't understand why this should work for some people but not for others - there must be a simple explanation for it!

By the way, I put the resistors in the BLACK connector, NOT the grey one: I understand the grey connectors are for the seatbelt pretensioners.

My bro had same issues with his 172 is due to wire connections under driver seat. He took it to Renault (Motorline) and they fixed it under warrenty

[pinky]

^^ yep try the driver seat.

 

[cherry bomber]

which wires do you link in the grey connector then???pics???

 

[cherry bomber]

can anyone supply some pictures????

Morning bump

What resistor is recommended?

I've read 3.0, 3.3 and 3.9 does it even make a difference?

Im going to go to maplins after im done here

 

[cherry bomber]

bumpage?????

 

[CBetts]

Any Ideas?

 

[mini idiot]

i have an air bag light to.............in fact my dash lights up like a xmas tree!

 

[Rob Clark]

if you have a trophy u shouldnt have to, seat airbags are disabled. may be front ones loose ?

 

[Curley]

Who in this thread has a trophy lol

 

[ForceIndia]

If the connector going into the pretensioner comes loose, the light also comes on.

 

[CBetts]

just wanna know where the resistors are supposed to go? one says one thing, and another thread says something else.

 

[cherry bomber]

does anyone have any pictures of what they did to theirs???ideally both the grey and black connectors to clear this topic up for us??
cheers

 

[smitchell1]

Mine done this and it turned out to be the pre-tentioner sensor in the seat belt buckle!!!

 

[cherry bomber]

just for the record i have no pretensioner on my drivers seat,or airbag

Its usually the seat connector but not always. If youve tried wiggling connectors the correct way is to have the code read which should identify which seat.

 

[bomber]

you have to put restistors in both of the connector blocks under the seats, not just one.

do it with the ignition off, then when it's switched back on the lights should stay off. 3.3 ohm in each one

 

[cherry bomber]

have done that and the light came on,now no matter what i do i cant get it to go off,pics of the resistors in place would be a great help.

 

[bomber]

i'll see what i can do, theyre stuck under my carpets at the moment under the seat

 

[CBetts]

pictures would be superb! then we can clear this up.

bump

 

[bomber]

opps, forgot about the pics, i'll try remember tonight

 

[Dangerous_dave]

Got them pictures?

Take

 

[maynard]

yeah pics if you can - interested in seeing how this is done.

[CBetts]

Any news on them pics matey?

 

[bomber]

donkey c**k, im lame. i'll pop out in a mo an take a photo

 

[bomber]

i believe im right in saying that the ph2's and 182's all use different colour blocks. but basically, the 2 larger blocks both need 3.3ohm resistors in each. ignition turned off. the round looking block has only 1 hole so dont worry about this

Hi guys i have just brought another clio. I brought a 172 about a hour ago just got it home and when i brought it the airbag light was on with the SERV "service" light on too. I know these are common so i started it up and played with the black plug under drivers seat no joy, then played with the connector on the passenger side light went out. There was no need to start engine turn off engine to reset it just went off. All i will say as this may help, when i started the car both lights would go out and after a second or two, both come back on and after a fiddle with the wires now does not come on at all.

I've got a bucket seat in but with the pretensioner in use so am using that side of the wiring. The single wire/plug I'm assuming is an earth for the airbag which is shared via the loom with the pretensioner... can anyone confirm? I've got a resister setup in the airbag plug, the pretensior still plugged in and that single plug lose... still have airbag/serv lights on!
