P38A SRS - wiggling the wires

EntropyUK · May 18, 2016

I have an upcoming MOT and the SRS light is showing. I believe that it is a connectivity problem as it was a very intermittent problem before becoming permanently lit.

I read here that the 1st point to check is the connections under the seats. Do I need to unplug the battery for that? I understand that there is a process t disconnect the battery correctly listed in Rave?

The SRS wires are under the seats in a post 98 P38 encased in yellow plastic trunking. you do not need to disconnect the battery as long as you dont disconnect the cables . sometimes the connection is lost when you move the seat

I believe there are two bulbs and if one is u/s then the other will illuminate.

mine does it when the seat gets moved iv never had an issue just unplugging the connector in and out again battery connected i do have the ignition off tho

Thanks, all fixed. I don't know which connector it was as I thought the light would go out when the connection was good. Needed a cycle of the ignition to switch it off.

SRS are all Yellow covered wires and plugs.

Sorry for the poorly worded response. I didn't know if it was the passenger side or drivers side that was the problem.
