SRS light On!!

You just half open the glove box and look straight through to the firewall just above the glove box. Don't think it gets wet when the plenum leaks.

Would it get wet if water came in through the windscreen plenum?

LoL. Sorry mates. I found i put this comment into a wrong topic. I was referring to the feature of turn key to see Red immobiliser light, then have to press Fob once to disable the red light to start car. Mine does not have SRS light on.

It seems that the problem is caused by the yellow plug, under the seat. The fault is the RHS pretensioner, open circuit.

The glove box plug would affect the LHS pretensioner. NO fault for this.

I did think of putting a multi meter across the plug, RAVE says no, as it might set of the squib.

I need to track where the leads from the RHS pretensioner go to see if there is a short long the way.
I think that replacing the yellow plug may be the way to go.

Do not apply multimeter to any part of the SRS system.

Not the pretensioner but the airbag. As mentioned don't mess with multimeter there. The wires are one side directly to DCU the other into pretensioner unit. For the RHS pretensioner, unplug it and make a bridge with a wire in the yellow plug then read the fault code, you should get short circuit then which means that the circuit betweeen the DCU and that plug are OK and the probem is in the buckle side, if with that plug bridged you still get that open circuit the problem is in that part . If it's the buckle side better get a known good SH one cos most probably the problem is in the unit. You can try to unplug the pretensioner from the other seat and plug it into this one for test if the wires are long enough then you can rule out the wiring

How did you get on, Julian? My verdammt car has switched it's light on today.

Mine comes and goes, at the moment the light is on. I am looking for a new plug. Something like this.

Automotive 2-Way Plug/Socket - 250 Series - 2 way | Jaycar Electronics

I could hard wire it, but then no one will buy my wheel barrows!I have just had a look at the plug. It looks like the female - male parts are offset by 90degrees. giving only a knife edge of contact. And I had a camp lantern under the seat, this could have been banging the plug. The design seems planned to fail. Especially compared to all the oterh plugs on the Disco that last through hell and high water!!

You can try disconnecting it, use contact cleaner and put back together. Any thigh under the seat that can bump into it?

I haven't had a chance to look.

What I don't understand is the Nanocom couldn't communicate with the ECU, for the airbags only. Worked fine with everything else. So I couldn't pull a code.
