So airbag light went on for the first time ever on my car and won't switch off now... Just in time for NCT... Does anybody know if this is a result of one thing in particular or could it be a number of things?

So airbag light went on for the first time ever on my car and won't switch off now... Just in time for NCT... Does anybody know if this is a result of one thing in particular or could it be a number of things?
The best advice is to get the codes read.
It's usually the seatbelt connector wiring in a single airbag car, seat occupancy sensor in twin airbag models.
Hope this helps.
On the money I'd say...but IF TIME IS AN ISSUE then the clocks out and bit of wire time ;)Quote:

I don't want to mess with that Dave, I think if a car has airbags and the light doesn't go on for the few seconds when you switch on the ignition it fails the NCT, but I want everything to work properly anyway. Thanks anyway!Quote:

I had a pinched squib before and the horn still worked. Read the codes could be anything. Or just reset it could also be a one off fluke not worth worrying about ;)

Give me a shout at the weekend & I'll plug in for you & turn it off if it will stay off.
I am in the same situation my self. Airbag light was intermittent a couple of months ago then worked perfect. The other day came on and hasn't gone off since. I hate seeing lights on the dash .going to get codes read and if it's passenger seat mat at fault there is a bypass on eBay for between 14- 45 Euro (depending on type of sensor fitted ) which activates airbag whether someone in the seat or not. Afaik once fitted the faults have to be cleard .don't.go messing with the dash unless you put black.tape over the light (what I am doing till I get it sorted Out of sight out of mind ;-)
Thanks Mark, that would be greatly appreciated! I will do :)Quote:
