Airbag Warning Light

Post by eoin27 »

Right........The airbag warning light is on

-Having first checked the forums I found that its not that airbag reset switch in the engine bay.

-Looking under the seat, I saw an orange wire running into a blue connector. It seems to look ok

What next anyone???????? :evil:

Well I had a fiddle with the wires. theres not much to fiddle with really :lol:

So heres the thing...........I failed my MOT because there was no ABS warning light showing. Having replaced the bulb I also checked the others an thats when I discovered that the previous owner pulled out the airbag bulb. so the airbag light, had the bulb been in, would have been flashing all along

Do I have to get this light put out in order for the airbags to work or will the airbags work anyway. If so, the bulb is coming back out :roll:

P.S.
TOOT. Whats a V6 like? I drove a V6 before but not a 406 V6. Is it auto?

Oops! Mine did that, the airbag ecu was kaput. If the light's on or flashing then it means there's a fault and they shouldn't work. Best kind, if you ask me.

No mate its a manual. The best way to to describe it is that its very fast and very thirsty. It also sounds good too, and in the 2.5 years ive had it ive had not one problem, its been ultra reliable.

For Sale soon if anyone is intrested :cheesy:
