Airbag Light Flashing

[BongoBerry]

Hi guys

I've read pretty much every thread on this forum regards solving mu airbag light issue.

Long Story short.... went 4x4'ing, negative battery terminal came lose - engine stalled lost power etc - car died... reconnected terminal.. then noticed airbag light was flashing.

I've tried resetting using the button on the door frame as well as the key on off counting to 5 etc and both don't work.

The door frame one actually causes the flashing to slow down ... but does not clear the code. i have also read that sometimes you may need a computer/handheld thingy to clear them out....

However, I've also read that the connectors under the seat might be lose.... now this is where I have failed... I cannot for the life of me see ANY cables under the seats - either one.

What am I missing. I did manage to peer under the centre console and see the yellow airbag connector there, but did not want to pull the console up any further as I could see the electric window switches being damaged (and I have no idea how to disconnect those either)

Could someone let me know if I can buy the gizmo to clear the code (and at least determine if its a fault or not) or where are these bloody wires under the seat?

Also - how do you take the centre console off without killing your window switches - do they pull off?

Thanks a bunch

Can't remember what the process is but there is a download on resetting the air ag light. Might be same as what you've tried.

Only place I can think of with the machine is a dealer if they still have the old style diagnostic machines.

Have you tried disconnecting the battery ?

You have probably tried it but sometimes disconnecting the battery and leaving it off for 20 minutes for the air bag capacitor to discharge might work but if you have a loose connection from off roading then the fault will probably just re-appear.

Dealer diagnostic might be the next move as per previous posts.

I have a constant flashing airbag light to. I'll be watching this thread with interest, cos I'm stumped to.
Maybe the paper clip jobby might lose the code/flashing?
I know it'll be different with a Patrol.

Found out that the battery was moving slightly in the tray causing a fluctuation in current. Resecured and then drove 100 miles. Reset the airbag light. Went and grabbed a coffee. All fixed.

Just to add to the thread, there is an "Airbag reset instructions" in the download section, so here it is...

it should be updated to reflect the "closed door switch" method too

The one posted there did not work for me
