Hi all,
I suffered the dredded Airbag light permanently on earlier this year, it was caused by the sensor mat in the passenger seat.. So I got hold of one of those seat occupancy sensor / emulators and fitted it. At first all went well, the light came on with the ignition, flashed once and then stayed off, Result!! This went on in this fashion for a couple of weeks, and then it would flash and stay on... normal service resumed, D'OH!!
I plugged the car in to the box of tricks and deleted the codes and tried again.. light still on, so the emulator has failed.. I'm now left wondering where to go now.. try another emulator? was it a dud, or did the car fry it?
I've just had the seat out, hoping that I'd find a broken wire or loose component in the emulator, but all appears to be OK, other than it don't work
I'm now at a loss, has anybody suffered a similar fate??
I will admit to buying a Ping Pong special, could it be at fault? But seeing how 99% of all electronics come from China and normally from the same factory with different labels to reflect the different prices.. is there a truly bomb proof emulator?
