Hello guy's,

Im just about to replace a faulty passenger airbag (on off) switch and was wondering if I need to disconnect the battery or if I could get away with removing the airbag fuse? Just dont want to blow anything or set the airbag off...  I did ring my local skoda garage but I started hearing the old bull (£60 to look at it, then £50 for the switch if there is no further damage!) With that cost being the minimum there was the risk of it going up! Reluctantly I bought the switch from TPS at the cost of £48.00 (Nice bit of plastic)   Any help on the correct procedure  would be much appreciated guys? Update... I took the the TPS switch back and got one off eBay for £10 Works as new!

Just disconnect the battery, wait 5 - 10 mins then do as you need.

You will have to muck about with the windows afterwards but the radio should be fine. 

Thanks guys. Took the £48 piece on plastic back to TPS and bought on off eBay for a tenner! Just need to know if taking the negative cable off the battery is enough to clear the error code? And how do I reset the electric windows? Cheers.

Taking the battery off cable will not clear fault codes logged.

Resetting the windows is in the Owners Manual, 

and in a thread here in the past couple of weeks, someone will be along to tell you how.

I just put the Electric Windows down and up, and down and up and they seem to be set, or is that re-set.

OK thanks, just been quoted £40 plus vat to have it cleared... 

Someone local with the gear and more than an idea will be along that can clear the codes for you for less beer tokens.

 Just been quoted £20 which is better than the first one at £50 

Of course, you only need to clear the code if there is a code to clear!

I can't spot you saying a code needed clearing, just a faulty switch. The replacement may just be enough.

Thanks, the new £40 cheaper works like new, but yes I'm still looking for a cheap code clearer near me that isn't going to charge me £45 plus vat for a 20-second job.
