Ok, so then it looks like I'm burdened with a car that needs to go to renault or a very good auto electrician. The story is, the previous owner had a shunt but didn't knock out airbags, but airbag light and serv light on and seat belt pre-tenseniors all open circuits and also rear seat belts as well. I have never been stung before but looks like the previous owner had not been completely straight and this fault is bigger than connectors under the seat. The thing was, and still is, that the car drives 110%!!!!
Then I tried to unlock the airbag ecu by sending it to an ebay dude and he said it was unlocked after impact data was erased. Got it back and straightaway airbag light back on. Got a friend of a friend who owns a garage to stick it on a snap on diagnostic and every time he tries to clear the codes the light comes straight back up again, with all codes still present. He thought maybe this was a major wire fault which was maybe due to stretched wires somewhere before the airbag ECU and the engine main ECU causing a short out as it was unlikely all pretensioners had gone and they don't look to be stretched anyway.
So, I think I'm gonna have to take a big hit on this one to sort as it is way beyond my capabilities, and I was just looking a quick fix to just get me through the test as discussed previously. I may have to stop drinking to pay for this…….feckety feck. Anyone know the best rate for a loan or do renault let you pay by instalments!!
