Citroen saxo airbag light

Unread post by Jonathancilia »

So i have a saxo 1.5D without ecu model. And i have an issue with the airbag light, it is staying on and not going off. At first it was only coming on randomly ans sometimes no but now its on all the time, i cleaned all the connections even at the pretensioners of seat belts and i cut the wires beneath the seat and crimped some new connectors and loads of people said this was a very common issue and infact way back the light came on and i cleaned those connections and light went off but now its staying on still even after replacing the comnections,

Does this mean the airbag itself is the issue? And there are 3 of them i dont know which one is the issue

You need to use a high end diagnostic tool to interrogate the car and it should tell you which airbag is causing the issue. Then go from there. :)
I used to be indecisive, now I'm not so sure!
I used to ride on two wheels, but now I need all four!

Yeah thats the proper solution im told, heard loads of people solved the issue by soldering 2 ohm resistors with the airbag wire im going to try that first, dont mind if i dont have airbags, they dont even work probably after all these years

If you disable the air bags in the UK you would probably find the insurance was not valid and the car would not be up to MOT standard. Also if in a crash and somebody was injured which could have been prevented by an air bag working, then the car owner could be liable in court. You should let any people in the car know the air bags do not work.
