Service Light and airbag light appearing

Postby bothyhead » Fri Dec 23, 2011 7:48 pm

Happy Christmas everyone. A couple of hours ago the Service light and Airbag symbol light started showing, along with a 'Steering Not Locked' message. When I start the car I notice a distinct 'thunk' somewhere behind me - it sounds like the central locking or perhaps dead-bolt engaging sound. Can I still drive the car safely for the next few days until the dealer re-opens after Christmas? or is there some sort of reset that I can do?

Many thanks

if you've a 3 door, try the cable under your drivers seat first. it's possibly loose.
both are common problems on the site.

Thanks I'll have a look in the morning for a loose cable. BTW, it's a 5-door.

I had a look under the driver's seat and saw the clip/switch mentioned in other posts. It wasn't loose, but I gave the wires a wobble anyway and it seems to have fixed the problem :-) The warning lights have disappeared and steering lock is back working.

Thanks a million.
