Service/airbag light

[timo172cup]

I have owned my cup for 3-4 years, and I have always had a problem with the service and airbag light coming on occasionally when the passenger seat is tilted forwards for passengers getting in the back.

I belive this is a common fault on clios. and a bit of a fiddle with the plug+wires under the passenger seat and the light go off again.

But the last couple of weeks it is coming on all the time for no reason, but will eventually go off after moving the wires aroud for ages.

Is there an easy way to fix this?

Cheers,

Tim

unplug the conector block, then re crimp the the conectors and pop them back into the block and reconnect it.

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.
