Serv and airbag light!

[edd1982]

Sorry i know this probably comes up every week. I was just reading another thread about the serv light and found out that it comes on when theres a fault, not when it needs servicing. I have the airbag light on too so does this mean that its the pretensioner wires under the seats like in every other french car?

Sorry again :S

Usually the airbag connectors under the seats. Try pressing the connectors and lights should turn off.

Tried faffing about with the wires under both seats but not had any joy. Anything specific i should be doing?

Ive got the same problem mate if i find the solution ill let you know!

Just wiggle all the wires about, or as said above, press the connectors a bit.

I have the same problem but every time I fixed it, the problem came back a few weeks later... so I have just learnt to live with it... at least until I get around to totally changing the connectors.

It still passes a MOT even with the service and airbag light on as well.

Either press together or disconnect/reconnect with the ignition off then start the car and the lights should go out if not repeat. Can take a few attempts for it to work sometimes.

Mine has started doing this everytime someone adjusts the passenger seat, including moving it to get in the back. Pushing the connectors together with the car off usually means they go off the next time I start it. Annoying though.

Check the soldering inside the actual connecters...this was the problem on mine.

hope it helps.

I have just got myself a W reg silver 172 with 62000 on the clock in excellenmt condition and it also has this fault.
If I faf around with all 3 connectors the light goes off next time i start the car then comes on again about 5 - 10 seconds later. This test was done stationary by the way and it happened about 3 or 4 times in a row.

Is there anything I can do about this ?
