Intermittent airbag light after new airbag squib/clockspring

[robbocop33]

Can't believe my luck with this car. Airbag light came on intermittently, then off for couple if days, now its on constant! Took it to French car specialist who read code, open connection on airbag circuit one, basically something up in steering wheel area of circuit.
He too airbag off, jiggled, well merely touched wires going to airbag then fault code disappeared?
Light stayed off all the way home! This morning it's on again, i took airbag off, straightened a kink in a wire, no change, took airbag off again, straightened any other light kinks in the new wiring, light went out??
Any chance this new airbag squib might be faulty? Don't know whether to chase up guy i bought it from or not.

Sounds like either a broken wire or a poor connection. You should be able to locate the problem by wiggling the wires and connectors. If the problem is in wiring that is part of the new squib that suggests it's faulty.

Another little interesting thing is when airbag light is on, the revs of the car aren't quite right, revs are high coming to an idle? Must be some Renault ploy to take your mind of the airbag light? :-)
Quite a few instances of people getting airbag lights on after new squibs/clocksprings on 'all' makes of vehichles online, poor sods!
I'm going to take squib off today and clean all connections behind it from the loom, just to see if the airbag light will shine any brighter after reassembly. :-)
