hmm. check the seat belt prentensioners. plugged in probery. and check the fuse. i think that light mean its the air bag in the stearing wheel. and flashs means its the seat belts.

not too sure.

as above normally its the air bag in the steering wheel that causes the light to be on solid so check that. Its the seatbelt pretentioners that cause it to flash.

On my vauxhall ... once the seat belt light - lights up - no matter what you do mechanically you either have to take it along to nice Mr Vauxhall for them to charge £'s just to plug it into their computer and hit the key to reset the light ...or ... luckily there's some free software on the web which allows just to do this on your home PC/laptop so long as you have the right connector. Don't know if this helps?

thats what im thinking Neill, the airbag light is flashing, so thats the pre tensioners. but unless theres a fuse somewhere? which im not sure that would cause it to do that. i think it is either a take the bulb out job or a trip to citreon for them to steal my money.

Check the sensor under the seat and give them a good clean.

everything is all plugged in fine. should the light go out or does it need to be reset?

If its really bugging you, you could just take out the bulb to the dash.
