| Airbag light when seat right forward? |
|
Hi there,
Any suggestions as to why my D3 airbag light would come one when the wife has the drivers seat right forward? It’s an HSE with electric seats if that makes a difference.
Where would I start fault finding?
Thanks again...
Eddie

I'd get the codes read to see what is recorded but at a guess perhaps the block connector under the seat is not seated correctly or the wiring is shorting - there are airbags in the seats - out of interest does the heated seat stop working when the light is on? Must stop buying shiny toys....

From memory that is an old and known about issue and it is a broken wire under the seat. Do a search for it and I believe you will find the answer MY17 D5 1st Edition Namib Orange
MY15 D4 HSE Kaikoura Stone
MY12 D4 HSE Nara Bronze Sold and gone
MY11 D4 HSE Stornaway Grey Sold and gone
D3 S spec Silver Sold and gone

There is a block connector under the seat (IIRC it is light brown?), it is held together by a central bolt and attached to the seat frame.
Sometimes I have to seperate it and clean it other times it just needs a wiggle. I ought to take it out and do it properly but not a real problem so haven't bothered. Series 1 V8
Series 2 Hibrid V8
Discovery 3 HSE V8

Find the error codes / check the wires under the seat, some of them should be damaged.
