SERV/Airbag light on. Resistor problem.

[Poopensharten]

Because my 172 Cup is fitted with Recaro's the plug (i assume) that went into the factory seats needed a resistor to stop the light coming on.

The light started to come on now and again but when fiddled with went out, anyway, i bought what i thought was a new resistor from Maplin but it doesn't put the light out?

Do these look right;

(Bottom one is the original one, the metal prongs broke off)

(Top one is the new one, doesn't seem to work?)

This plug is where the resistor was in?

Any help anyone can offer would be great, thanks.

That's in the right pins. Have you put one in the black/red connector too? You need 4 resistors in total. (X2 per seat)

I don't recall seeing a resistor in the black and red plug, Joe?

From memory there are 7 wires under the drivers seat 2 for airbag, 2 for seat belt pre tensioner, 1 for earth and 2 for seat recline switch.

Passenger seat thebsame but wothout the recline switch.

As usual, wiggling wires etc seems to sort the problem :-|

Fcuking Renaults.

The cup has the correct configuration. It'll be the seatbelt pretensioners being the issue

Never under stand the need for resistors.. just hardwire the plug.

It was like this when i got it, i'm also pretty hopeless electrically. It seems to be a common 'fix' as well.
