My SRS light has just come on. I've disconnected the battery and checked the seat wiring and what else I can see, but no luck. It seems like a trip to the main dealers ( as was ) is on the cards.
The manual says that there are three categories of failure.
Mine does 2.
Does anyone have a more detailed description of what each stage indicates.
TIA Andy
I don't know if the SRS system is the same/similar to ford, but if it is, here are the fault codes,
1 Flash Drivers airbag failure - or open circuit to airbag (check mylar clockspring connection) 2 Flashes Passenger Airbag failure - or open circuit to airbag 3 Flashes Failure of both airbags 4 Flashes Pyrotechnic seatbelt pre-tensioner failure (Either side) 5 Flashes Drivers airbag failure - System shorted 6 Flashes Passenger airbag failure - System shorted 7 Flashes Drivers crash sensor failure 8 Flashes Passenger crash sensor failure
Thanks for that but I don't think the lamp is as sophisticated as that on my Rover. Wish it was.
It appears that they have to plug a laptop into the diagnostic unit under the dashboard. I thought having some idea might prevent me being ripped off. Wish I wasn't sooooo suspicious.

Try actually disconnecting the connectors to the seats, cleaning the connectors and reconnecting them.
The other point of failure is usually the rotary coupler in the steering wheel - these are about =A340 to replace.
if you head over to
Cheers. Done the seat bit already. Could be the coupler though. I'll try the site, thanks.

Just to tidy the thread up, I had already used professional contact cleaner and re-plugged the seat connectors many times but still the lamp appeared intermittently.
I have now chopped them out and soldered the wires directly, after disconnecting the battery and leaving for the requisite 10 minutes and I have had no further problems.
Obviously these connectors aren't just dirty, they are of poor design and can fail to connect at all.
