New member & seek advice

[KPow]

Hi all,a friend told me about pistonheads today so I am finding my way round. I also hope to find advice about my Micra sport which has an airbag problem. The light on the dash is flashing, indicating that the airbag may not deploy in a crash. This may be a problem with wiring or a sensor. I am taking it to the dealer for diagnosis but wondered if anyone had experienced a similar problem, so that I might have a clue before taking the car in. Thank you.

Welcome to PH.

I can count on my elbows the number of times a dash warning light has actually been something wrong with the component to which it refers, rather than a faulty sensor or warning light! I know that won't help as its only my experience and means nothing, but it might make you feel slightly more optimistic. HTH

Hi thanks very much for that, you are right,it does make me feel more optimistic. For info` apparently it would fail the MoT on that problem

Thanks very much for the advice & link. I tried doing that but to no avail sadly. It looks like it is going to cost around £350 to fix as diagnosis comes up with a sensor fault, though, could also be wiring. I have to return to get the job done next Wed. Thanks you two guys. K P
