Xantia Permanent Air Bag fix

Post by MikeT »

Just to put back some of what I took out of this forum.
I consulted a Citroen techie about my airbag light staying on and he told me 90% of these are due to the connectors under the seat. He suggested cleaning and reseating them (batt disconnected and left for 10+ mins first!) several times if necessary but this only fixed my fault for a few hours. His next suggestion - they fix them by cutting out the connector altogether & join the wires using pre-soldered bullet sleeves with heat-shrink tubing on top. I just soldered them and spun some insulating tape around each soldered joint and the light always goes out now :D

If anyone has this fault but can't solder, I'd be happy to do it for them if you're in my area.
