Airbag light...

 

Long story, but please bare with me!

 

My indicator relay started making the continual clicking noise about a month ago so I replaced the hazard switch (no fix) so I replaced the indicator stalk (fixed it) 😊

 

However when I put the wheel back on I did a lock to lock test and there was a scraping sound coming from behind the wheel.

 

I fitted the stalk a little further back than it was before and after adjusting this the noise had gone, unfortunately prior to this fix I thought the issue was with the clock spring and in order to test this I had to connect the battery to carry out another lock to lock test.

 

This of course threw the air bag light on, and with my basic code reader I was unable to read the fault let alone clear it.

 

I nipped over to the garage where I used to work,  and the lads there cleared the fault for me using their Bosch KTS diagnostic equipment.

 

Sorted I thought!

 

Last week the airbag light came on again so rather than bother the lads again I assumed it would probably be the clock spring as its the only thing I have mucked about with.

 

A new clock spring ordered I replaced it this evening and asked my mate to clear it for me again using the KTS equipment.

 

No matter what way we tried or what other brand of code reader we used none of them could find the engine control  module or any other module either!

 

We checked fuses, and tried disconnecting the battery for a while then reconnecting but still no luck.

 

Weirdly although my torque app cannot find any faults either it's still happy to carry out live data readings.

 

Any help would be most appreciated and thank you for reading this bloody long post! 😂

 

P.S here's a very crap photo of the

 

Speedlines fitted to the old girl!

 

She's filthy, the boot is loaded with the old wheels, the tyres are covered in storage powder, and it's on a very unlevel piece of tarmac!

 

But I think they look bloody amazing! 😍
