AIR BAG LIGHT

[hodgy]

Hi All

I removed my steering wheel the other day to change for another one, because the rubber had come lose from the metal inner. it turned out the new one wouldn't fit since I replaced the old one the red air bag light keeps flashing on and off on the dash, even with the engine running.
Can anybody help please

Thanks in advance

Hodgy

I think you have to have it reset by nissan or ford i dont think that they automatically reset if there has been a problem.

If the air bag is not going to be used Take fuse out. problem solved, I always disable air bag anyway... Always works for me... and if that dont sort it i take bulb out as well.......

I think that you will also fail the mot test. If the airbag isn't working

Terranokid is right you do have to have the light reset, best price I've got so far is £25 + vat.
