Airbag system 1996 Peugeot 306 1.9DTS - madmonty
Hi,

The airbag light was coming on and off for a while, probably due to my wife storing stuff under the seat and affecting the wiring and a "wiggle" down there seemed to cure it.

I dont drive the car often and when I did recently, noticed it is on ALL the time. As the car is 10 yrs old I don't want to spend serious money on this. I already need to find a clip to stop the drivers window from falling forward and a regulator for the e.window on passenger side AND 2 discs!!! Anyway...

Can I disconnect the battery, leave a while and safely work on where I think the problem is?

Has anyone else had this problem?

Thanks

Disconnecting can help reset it yes. However as mentioned its probably a sensor. When light on your aware airbag disabled?

The light check flashes for a while then goes steady indicating a fail.

I am aware it isnt active. It is working on it I am worried about it. Don't want the thing going off or it will be a pull Airbag bulb and fit non airbag steeringwheel and cross fingers for MOT
