Hello

The wife has an Audi A4 cab, which we have had since new. Its a 2003. Its the version that is filled with crumbs, orange juice, parking tickets, makeup etc; etc; all cleverly deposited to disguise the fact that its a car.

Today it is showing the red Air Bag lamp on the instrument cluster and it is constant....

Any ideas before I end up down at the main dealer ?
I will explore the Independents first, but some avoid airbag issues due to liabilities.....

Any input will be useful.

Thankyou for the link, this looks straight forward enough. The question I have is passenger side or drivers side ? The link shows drivers side which is the left as the thread appears to e American.....
Thinking about it further I guess I need to get the fault code / description first so I know which side it is.....

HELP !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dropped a right bk here.

Snipped the harness end plug off on drivers side, made a note of what went where, Thrown paper away by mistake.

Now I cant be sure which wire goes where. problem is they are different colour on the passenger side !!!

Drivers side I have a Blue and Brown coming off the seat and in the harness which has white Green and Brown.
Its definitely not brown as its redundant on both sides.

The colours on the passenger side harness are White and Blue. The Seat Blue goes to White harness and the Seat Black goes to Blue Harness.

I could assume that the seat blue goes to white harness again leaving seat black going to green in the harness. Both Green and White have same voltage readings.....

Its like bloody bomb disposal....can anyone advise what I could do please ?
