SRS Light on

(1/2) > >>

BigA:
OK, fixed one of my many current issues, and now onto another.

couple of weeks ago my SRS light started not to go out after the initial check on startup. It then started flashing after a few minutes driving. Whilst trying to get to the bottom of my recent power drain, i had as much of the air bag system i could get at disconnected, cleaned all connections and re connected.

The good old haynes manual is as helpful as expected and states i should "take to a dealer for inspection" so can any you you helpful chaps shed any light as to how to or what to check.

Thanks as always in advance.   [-o<

I've been having the odd prob with my SRS light coming on :( I've worked out it's either the steering wheel or the passenger air bag that has an iffy conection because when I turn off the ignition & give either of them a slight thump (I know you shouldn't do it) the next time I start the motor up the SRS light don't come on again :D Have a feeling that it's mainly the steering wheel which is causing the odd prob

i like that technique  :D i will give it a go and see if it has similar affect on mine

Becarefull the bags don't go off :lol:I think the main prob is the rotating conection behind the steering wheel :roll:TBH i'm going to look into having the SRS system switched off & replacing the steering wheel as I just hate air bags

my 99 td5 turned out to be the seatbelt pre tensioner connections under the seat, very thin wires, one was broken.  Re soldered and the light went off!
Worth a look.
