Hi all,

A friends car has failed its M.O.T on account of the airbag light on. I am speaking to them over the phone and have nothing to do with this myself, I just thought I could use some pistonheads wosdom to pass on

They have paid around £500 (yes I know! Bonkers!) For various repairs so would rather not scrap.

According to the garage the airbag has been deployed, however there are no signs of damage and replacing the airbag its self has not fixed this. The car in question is a base spec 1.5d and only has the one airbag in the steering wheel.

Does the 106 have an airbag control unit or anything that fould be causing a problem?

More importantly is there an easy fix that would be legal? Ie: remove air bag, and the corresponding bulb from the dash.

Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers

Edit: sorry about message topic. Damn android phone is being a pain

These share a lot of parts with the Saxo. My Saxo's airbag light came on after I knocked the plug under the drivers seat while hoovering it. Taking it out and plugging it back in resolved the issue.

Alternatively, as the instrument clusters come out quite easily, if my only concern was getting it through the MOT, I'd piggyback the airbag light off one of the others that turns on and off at startup

Yep, my old Saxo had this issue as well!
