Hello, I have a 2007 [57] 1.6Hdi Berlingo Multispace and in the last couple of days both airbag warning lights have come on and I get the messages
"Passenger Airbag Deactivcated" and "Air Bag Fault"
I've tried all the normal fixes of the under seat connectors [Passenger and driver] Sprayed them with contact cleaner [Servisol] and done the same with the seat belt pre-tensioner connectors.
Both front seats have a side airbag as well as the one in front of you, any ideas how you get to those connectors??
Reading other threads on the same subject, I also went down the road of checking the red/white twisted pair of wires from the engine compartment for a broken wire or bad connection/corrosion and have had wipers and the cover at the bottom of the screen off to examine the wiring loom [where I can see them] for any possible damage.
No obvious signs of damage/broken wires but my next option is to do a continuity check from the engine fuse box connector to the BSI
While getting at the Engine fuse box connector is simple enough, I can't seem to get out the BSI to get at the connector [and which connector is it on the BSI?] Any help please?
One really weird thing. While going through fault finding, I inadvertently left out the connector in the engine fuse box and when I started up after wiggling wires all my fault lights and warnings had gone. Then I realised I had left out the engine fuse box connector!! On putting this connector back in the warning lights and messages re-appear on start up. I don't understand how leaving out the connector causes the message to disappear!
Any help [or other ways to go] appreciated. I don't have a diagnostic machine, do I really need to buy one?
