Central Locking & Airbag problems... Help!?

Central Locking & Airbag problems

All this started with the airbag fault, wish I'd just left it!!

The central locking is not working in anyway now, not even with the key in the lock... Says in the handbook to see the main dealer... Guessing I will need a PP2000?

The airbag light is on and according to the auto electrician that came out to sort the immobiliser it is code 7 side module trigger.

Looking forward to your input.

Hi, try a BSI reset, info here on the forum.

As for the airbag light, the culprit is normally the orange wire for the passenger pre-tensioner. Make sure ignition is off - and has been for 5 mins - and try unplugging and replugging repeatedly all the different connectors under the passenger seat, even the little one behind the others. May take a few attempts.

Thanks Magic!

I'll certainly have a bash at the wires under the seat, but unsure of the BSI reset. Might just wait for the garage auto electrician to finish the job he started.
