[djdanman]

just pull the clocks out and take the bulb out! much easier and its FREE :oops:

[gibbygibson]

cheers

Bulb is in a circuit with 2 others iirc, so best to tape it with electrical tape

It's not a failure, is only an advisory

[gibbygibson]

would unlocking the ecu clear all the faults on the system? also how do u know if the car has abs or not does anyone have any pics to tell the difference i.e abs brake pads have a cable coming from it but where does it plug? lol
thanx

Mine has done it for 3 years now - not an MOT failure. It relates to the Pre-tensioners under the seat that are somehow linked to the driver airbag.

Hope this helps

This is a common and known fault with saxos, autodatas fix to it is to cut the plugs under the seats and solder then and shrink wrap around that...

Pain in the ass though if you wanan take the seats out at some point!

im sure there is a good thread on here that sorts it and the bag still works

as i had to dissconnect them as i have bucket seats now.

thanks

Correct.

maybe cut them to size and then tape them in to keep it all in place.

Will turn your airbag light off and the airbag will still go off if you have a crash

is that 2 resistors to each seat or one on each? also anyone got any pics of wherethe leads plug into from the brake pads for abs?

Best thing to do is take it to citroen, it shouldnt cost you no more than 20 quid.

Your Joking ain't you :zainy:

[gibbygibson]

ent he i got quoted £62 +vat today and thats just to see if there are faults on the computer plus parts and labour

[machevelli7777]

Your Joking ain't you :zainy:

Erm no lol :p

Seriously, its your airbag, its there for a reason.

[WheresMeNuts]

Geez Citroen charge you £20 to use the Toilet....I'm thinking about buying a little silver sticker of a car & cover it up & then I'll attempt to take off the sunroof & unplug those drains.

Ha Ha hes not wrong they really do the scammin bastards!! like i said just take the bulb out i have done it on all my saxos and all the dials and other bulbs work perfectly just you dont get the annoyin little airbag light flash on every five seconds grrrr.....;)

[DJVTR]

i disconected the airbag ecu and it turned off
if its flashing then it wont work anyway so might as well just turn it off :y:

Still may work, but airbag gas is supposed to be replaced every 10 years iirc

[machevelli7777]

Nothing like a mashed up face LOL

Up to you guys, personally id get it sorted just for that peace of mind, its not what you drive like its what everyone else drives like. Good Luck!

[gibbygibson]

hi ya ppl still got my airbag light flashing at me lol i have noticed that the car has been in a slight accident on the front, does this mean the airbag ecu thinks its still in the accident and i need to get an airbag ecu?
thanks very much
