My airbag module is faulty- but I have been to so many people saying different things.

These are the faults:

00532 Supply voltage signal too low, Intermittent.
65535 Control module defective. Static

Some say a used module, as long as it's the same part number should be fine. We tried that- it didn't work. It could be the wiring but all seems ok. Of course we're no experts!

I'm a bit worried at the thought of spending £350 + £70 on coding + labour on a new module and it changing nothing. But although more expensive, would a main dealer, on this occasion, be a better bet?

I should add that the dealer took the bulb out- it was checked and the LED wasn't there no more. 2nd hand clock confirmed this- I now have a light on.

Vehicle details might help and what type of kit are you using to read the codes?

Check earths and all other connections for loose or corroded terminals etc (including the fuses and holders)

I have, including lifting the carpets- all seems ok! It's utterly baffling.
