| Yep. everything that is on the car must work.
Sounds like you need a resistor...only a few quid. | |

| If the bulb was missing it would certainly not fail.
I have had a car pass with the light flashing but that was about five years ago. | |

Same thing with the Clios...just wiggle the wire under the seat and it goes off. | |

| Sorry dude...I just remembered that my nephew only got an advisory as his air bag light was on as he had changed the steering wheel...think they said it was dangerous also. | |

| I know its sorted now but airbag light is only advisory not a failure and being a pug it is almost definately the seat wiring for the airbag/pretensioners just unplug it and re- connect and light should go out, sometimes you need to clear the fault codes aswell tho | |
