Airbag warning light on 147!!!

[desyboy]

I've got the dreaded warning light on me dash now, and tried removing the drivers seat and checking the connections under there. All seems ok, but still got the error.

Anyone any other ideas what it could be? or does anyone know a Alfa specialist in central Scotland that could fix it? I don't really want to take it to a dealer after they bent me over for the last service!!!

Cheers, I'll try that tomorrow when I get a chance to get the seat out....

Well, finally got round to taking the seats out today, and all the connectors seemed fine. they were all plugged in ok, and connections seemed good. Still got the warning light on though though.

Anyone know of a decent indie garage that could reset the airbag system in central Scotland before I try soldering the wires?

Well managed to get time to get the seats out again at the weekend and have a look at the connectors. I tried removing the connectors, and used bullet connectors to make sure the conenctions were fine. but after doing both seats connectors, still having the same problem, so looks like it could be the Airbag thats feck'd. Anyone know of any Alfa specialists in the glasgow area that could have a look? Need to get it fixed soon, as I'm gonna have to sell it as I've bought another car that I'm picking up at the end of the month.

Yup, lights still on. I'll give the dealer a phone to see when they can bend me over! ( I mean fit me in to reset the system).

Just phones the stealer, and they only have one person qualified to work on the airbag systems, and he's on holiday this week. I said I didn't want him to work on the airbag system, just reset the fault condition and see if alls ok. But he's the only person allowed to do it. So its booked in next Monday for him to have a look. Least its only £34.66 for him to do it.

ARGH!!!!

Looks like I'm gonna get shafted for even more money, they cleared the fault codes this morning, but there is still a persistent fault with the drivers curtain airbag. Didn't have time to leave car today to get it fixed, so got it booked in for next week to get them to look at it. Anyone else had problems with the curtain airbag before? know what could go wrong or how much? The stealer wouldn't quote a total price, as they would need to investigate it to see whats wrong.

Cheers, Its a 2001 (51 plate) 147 1.6 Lusso.

Hopefully with the wiring diagrams, I'll be able to get the problem solved and I'll only need to pay for another reset of the system!!!

All this so I can sell the car with nothing wrong!!!
