Hi, the SRS (Red) light has recently come on, bloke at Halfords I know put there diagnostics on and it came back with ground to earth on passenger and driver airbags. I have check all the wiring for evidence of short circuiting inc connectors. As both airbags are showing same fault is it likely to be any module/ecu anywhere else... cheers Dave

Not too sure what that means. Ground is earth. I would suggest you find some one that has more accurate diagnostic equpment, and understands what is going on.

Have you got anything bouncing around under the front seats such as cans - could possibly interfere with the under seat pre-tensioner wiring/connectors

The guy at Halfords was non the wiser. I assume it's a short circuit somewhere.

As noted by ElekieDoc, you need a proper chap, preferably an auto electrician on this, it is not within the scope of a general mechanic.

Warning, if the problem is inside the airbag itself the cost of either of these from Honda will effectively write the car off (had this issue on one of daughter's 2004ish Civics, new passenger airbag would have been some £1200) so a good used part is the only option.
