try your wires under the seat mate the pre tensioners they are called sometimes they can get loose if you keep putting you seat forward and back..as fare as i am aware dont think this is a common fault it was with my vts anyway they did it all the bloody time

maybe your airbag is faulty?
maybe it needs a service?

just thoughts

Considering the service light has fcuk all to do with servicing the car I doubt it

common issue. Mine used to do it, went away after a restart

I've got the same problem on mine, take a look at the link previously posted. It is caused by open circuit failure of the connectors under the seat. Usual quoted fix is to 'wiggle' the connectors. This will only work sometimes. Permanent fix is to replace the connectors or hard wire (remove the connectors) and solder up the cables. Remove the battery first though.

so what is the service light for? On the megane the service light flashes when its due a service?

Service light is to tell you there a problme the Megan has a differetn setup the serv light works telling you the car needs servicing.

It's happened on every Mk2 since the first one.

Renault still have not been bothered to rectify the fault.

Lazy assed mofo's!

Wiggle the wires they say, great but a week later it comes on again.
I drive around with mine on permanently now, I will not be reduced to wiggling wires under my seat.
