my SRS (airbag) warning light as started staying on - just took my car (Rover 620si) to rover & they say i gotta buy a new passenger airbag (£650 + fitting & VAT)
i'm bit brassed off since it's only 6 years old and i've not worn it out - hell i haven't even used it once, so whatevers wrong with it now, is a result of it never being right in the first place
asked rover if they can bypass it - they said they could, but they wont :o(
anyhow - i wondered if anyone knows how to bypass passenger airbag - so the driver bag still works and the light goes out - i read in the state they now sell a lot of airbag 'switches' in light of the new dangers of airbags on short people (including blinding, amputations ewwwww & even fatalities)
i know they're dangerous to mess with but at £650 i had a go - took the dash out - found the connector - held my nose - unplugged it - held my nose again - put ignition on - still left the warning light on - switched ignition off - stuck a short in the end of the connector (not airbag end, the other end :o) - held my nose again - turned ignition - still leaves the bloody light on
any clues - i read on some cars you need to include a resistor in the short
