Peugeot Air bag

My son's 306's airbag light flashes with a regular flash, will this make it a MOT failure? Also what could be the problem. Cheers Robin

No.

Almost certainly the connectors to the seatbelt pretensioners.

Nope, airbaig isn't part of the MOT test AFAIK.

There is a connector under one, other or both of the front seats, linked to the pretensioner/airbag system that fires when you crash. The flashing light indicates a fault, its very common on 306's and is rarely an actual problem with the airbag/pretensioners themselves. The connector is a cheap and crap affair by all accounts, you could try cleaning the contacts with switch cleaner or for a more permanent fix, cut it off and solder the wires together.

Our 306 has the same problem - the connector strapped to the underside of the passenger seat works loose. I just disconnect it and reconnect it and its fine again for X weeks/months.
