Title: SRS Light on
Post by: BigA on October 27, 2009, 18:42:03: OK, fixed one of my many current issues, and now onto another.

couple of weeks ago my SRS light started not to go out after the initial check on startup. It then started flashing after a few minutes driving. Whilst trying to get to the bottom of my recent power drain, i had as much of the air bag system i could get at disconnected, cleaned all connections and re connected.

The good old haynes manual is as helpful as expected and states i should "take to a dealer for inspection" so can any you you helpful chaps shed any light as to how to or what to check.

Thanks as always in advance. [-o<

Worth a look.

Dont think mine is as high tech as that, only thing under my seats is muddy carpet and rust :lol:

So far checked as many connections as possible but no joy yet. Gonna get the center of dash out at weekend for another job, so will take a peek whilst in there.

My own SRS light has started to come on and it annoys me :oops:

I'd rather not just remove the bulb ;)

Post by: BigA on June 09, 2010, 23:51:04: Didnt ever solve it, its still on, and still annoying. Went through MOT OK last month though.

As Range Rover Blues mentions, i dont think they are expected to work after 10 years, dont know if they come on anyway?
