tech 1/2 is the vauxhall mechanics diagnostic tool.

Until you get it checked out you will only speculate as to what it might be.

You could pick a s/h airbag up for £30-40 there have been a few on mig recently.

didnt think of it like that :)

however i still only have 2 weeks to get an MOT

new steering wheel it is then ;) what an excuse

stupid question...

whats tech 1/2 ? the vaux monkey diagnostic tool?

also just read in max/haynes corsa book that "airbags are expensive to replace (several £100s) " :! !!!!!!!!! is it likely that the whole bag needs to be replaced cos i dont have "(several £100s)" !!

Get vauxhall to plug it into tech 1/2.

Its the only option!

cant remember now mate, something like they wouldnt touch dash panels that were sprayed incase they cracked, i took the panels out in the end last time.

haynes manual says airbag gets power from same circuit as horn and horn fuse is same as interior light!?! but that works!!

why wont the monkeys touch anything thats sprayed, what did they say?

serviced in october, no electrical anything then.

What fuse is the airbag and ill check it? wheres the relay and how do i check that?

shite, cant afford it to be expensive after one of the tracking arms snapped last month!

will take it into vaux but ill have to remove dash cos its spayed and they wont touch fuck all thats painted!

has the car been in for any service lately? if so something might of been set off or something, contact your local dealer, see if they can do anything, or cheaper route get a local garage to do it, probly half price ;) or nothing if its something stupid!

fuse or relay might have tripped out, take a look i couldnt think of anything else that could trip it out overnight

dont know mate, they are dodgy though, mate had a crash and it never went off, he ended up with severe whip lash

why would it magically develop a fault though?

was joking about it going off, is there not a failsafe in there so if its faulty it wont go off at all?

is it likely to be a sensor, fuse or loose wire etc?

get down to the dealers and ask em, bit risky if its gonna go off in ya face, it bloody hurts.

This morning i started my car and the airbag light came on and went out as usual but then came on and stayed on.
Its not been in any recent accident and I checked to see if anyone had maybe hit it while it was parked up, seems not.
Standard wheel etc.
Any idea whats up peeps? :boggle:

The main worry is MOT is due by the 15th March and i hear it will fail if the light stays on!?

I might take the bulb out but want to get it fixed before it goes off in my face. :o
