how do i remove the airbag light?

For the Side Airbag light;
Under the seat is a common orange wire that comes loose. Way to deal with it;

1) Take the battery power lead off
2) Wait 10 - 30 minutes
3) Get some wd40 type product, pull the seats forward both passenger and driver seat
4) Open the front window, take the car out of gear
5) Under the seats open every cable and spray with WD40 and rejoin them, there will be a big block (silver and black) there will be a load of others too (about 3/4)
6) Once sprayed both terminal sides and rejoined back move the seats to the desired space for seating
7) Put the battery back on
8) From outside of the car (enusure not in gear) and turn the car over from outside
9) Side airbag light should be off
10) If not take battery off for 10 mins again, cut all the wires one by one under the seats, use terminal blocks (small) or soldering and rejoin, be careful not to put the wrong ones together as some of them are the same colour so take your time!!!Inuslate the blocks/solder with insulating tape
11) From outside the car (ensure its not in gear) try again, it should of gone out.....if not.....
12) Take the battery of again and wait 10 mins...take the three hex bolts of under the steering wheel, pull the casing off the steering wheel
13) Behind the ignition key there is a orange cable attached to a black cable to the steering wheel restraint module, pull the orage cable off cable of with long pliers
14) Spray with WD40 again rejoin it
15) Put the casing back together
16) Put the battery back in place
17) from outside the car (ensure not in gear) flick her over, it should be out
18) If not out now, u need to go to a dealer as it may be the pretensioners in the seatbelt system or the airbag directly in the doorways and I have not ventured that far!

Hope that helps

you have to take the dash off, 3 hex bolts under the steering wheel and two on the top of the control dials two underneath in the corners (quite hard to find!!)and quite a few around the heater units and dials drivers side and in the centre. Pull the dash off, pull the clock cover off and ou'll find a few hex's there tp and there is one hex bolt holding in the control dials right at the top of it. Now remember the bulb doesn't come out its a LED so pull of the back by prising the clips forward. You have about 8 hex bolts securing the back of the dial guard onto the display dial. Pull of the plastic display two cable holders push down the gaurd and pull them upwards and the cables in the control dials are of and now which shows the mdules be careful not to push the dials about, the cover pulled forward you'll have access to the LED hole and push blutak into the hole, where the LED shines, don't use duck tape, electricans tape as the thing still shines through so blutak is better. Takes about 1hr remember to take the battery off while your doing it, its also wise to let it stand for 10/15 mins with battery of so the pretensioners which have there own supply of electricty run down. Its a headtest but if you know your way around a dash you should be sound. If your not confident give it a miss as you can fook up the whole shitty control dials as they are sagem french rubbish.

faults could be connected. you need a new comm 2000 unit wiper/indicator stalk and airbag switch housing. lots of problems with indicators and lights on these. comes as a unit cost about £200 new. airbag fault could be caused by this unit also. need to put on diagnostic machine to find airbag fault if it doesnt dissapear when new unit fitted.
