Well before I bother soldering everything up, and re-assembling my interior I thought I'd put up a plea for help.
I have had, for quite some time, a passenger airbag light which hasn't been an issue until they changed the MOT regs 2 weeks ago.
When I turn on the ignition, the pas. airbag light, and 'bottom left' airbag light illuminate, and stay on solid.
To remedy this, I paid a visit to cully, who plugged me into PP and found a simple fault which told us what we already knew from the light; the passenger airbag was deactivated. We swapped cully's passenger airbag switch into my car to eliminate that possibility, to no avail.
From that cully deduced that it is either the passenger airbag, or associated wiring that is at fault. So we decided that when I got home I'd get at the airbag ECU, and wire in one of his resistors to fool the ECU into thinking the airbag was okay.
Having now done that (but only having twisted the wires together?), the passenger light goes dim about 5 seconds after ignition, but the other light remains illuminated.
So, any ideas how I can get my car through its MOT???
