zebedy Posted July 15, 2015 Posted July 15, 2015 OK. We all know the procedure in clearing the flashing light. BUT how many times would you put up with it returning before you say enough is enough. Mine has come back 5 times over a period of say 10 weeks. What's causing it to return to annoy me !! Quote
350zedd Posted July 15, 2015 Posted July 15, 2015 Its trying to tell you to stop fecking around under the dashboard! I'd discon the battery and check for any bad plug/socket connections you may have disturbed Quote
HEADPHONES Posted July 15, 2015 Posted July 15, 2015 If all the connections are tight it could be the "clock spring" unit behind the steering wheel that has failed. Had mine replaced a few months back. Was about £60 2nd hand and about £30 labour to fit. Quote

ZEUS Posted July 15, 2015 Posted July 15, 2015 Mine puts the light up when I move the seats to clean under them so I have to mess about with the connectors and then reset the light. Quote
cmck13 Posted July 15, 2015 Posted July 15, 2015 Hard wire the connectors under the seats if nothing else works, usually but not always, the connections are a bit flakey. 1 Quote
bamdc2 Posted July 15, 2015 Posted July 15, 2015 do you have anything under the seat which is knocking the wires? Are you putting anything on passenger seat as this can cause issues as well. Quote
Jack wellZ Posted July 15, 2015 Posted July 15, 2015 I had this with passenger airbag as a bottle knocked the wire under the seat, I unplugged it blew out the dust re plugged it in and then when I started the car it was gone and hasn't been back since 1 Quote
allaboutthepasty Posted July 15, 2015 Posted July 15, 2015 What else is there to do in South Wales as opposed to parking up in some woods and night with a few other locals and disturbing the seats? Quote
Ebized Posted July 16, 2015 Posted July 16, 2015 I seem to recall issues with the air bag lights coming on that was due to luggage etc being squeezed behind the seat backs that disturbed connections/wiring? Quote
zebedy Posted July 16, 2015 Author Posted July 16, 2015 ok guys thanks, I'll check all that needs checking like plugs etc. Also whats a clock spring?? Ive heard of it but what does it do?? Plenty of sheep in wales to disturb at night but thats another story, and also 350Zedd not pulled my dash out yet lol but may do this week end. Watch this space. ps. Hows the sheep in Brechfa. Loads of Forest up there to hide in :-) Quote
350zedd Posted July 16, 2015 Posted July 16, 2015 Hows the sheep in Brechfa. Loads of Forest up there to hide in :-) They've all been shorn around here, which makes them difficult to grab hold of, and near impossible to hang on to!! 1 Quote
TT350 Posted July 16, 2015 Posted July 16, 2015 No one seems to take me seriously on this one but, things under both seats? Quote
Wizza2000 Posted July 16, 2015 Posted July 16, 2015 Clock Spring had one fail on my old EP3 on steering wheel there is housed a coil (clock spring) it just keeps an electrical connection to airbag while steering wheel is being turned left to right. hope that helps Quote
