    Electrical Failure go to dealer (Open wallet, repeat after me, "help yourself")

    No, it stays on when the ignition is turned on and when the engine is started and running.

    Electrical Failure go to dealer (Open wallet, repeat after me, "help yourself")

    It is the yellow child in the seat symbol. It stays on whichever position the switch is in. Tried having someone sitting in the passenger seat, no different. Another mobile auto electrician came out this afternoon and his reader detected and deleted a bunch of old codes, still got the faults...

    Had the passenger seat out and checked for bad connections, all looks fine, disconnected the battery for a couple of hours while working on the seat. Doesn't matter which position the passenger airbag switch is in the light is still on. Checked every fuse in the engine bay fusebox and the...

    The passenger airbag light is constantly on, it isn't an intermittent fault. I'm inquisitive and like to know why things aren't working, it isn't a days work to take out 2 self tapping screws to see what is inside the switch. I now know that it isn't a simple on/off switch but one that gives...

    Thanks for the input guys. Fitted a new battery, still got all the existing faults. Got the door panel off to see if I can work out what is wrong with that as it is mechanical, the cable is still attached at both ends but pulling it doesn't open the latch. Had the auto electrician guy out...
