Hi, I've just joined the club and I have the following problem. By the way, I live in Spain and have a left-hand drive Megane.
For the last few days the service light and airbag symbol have remained illuminated with the engine running. I read in another post that sometimes it's a wiring problem under the driver's seat. I have fiddled with the wires but the problem remains.
The car has just reached 140,000km and I suspect that it could be telling me I need the airbag checked as the oil change warning appeared at the same time.
I have tried resetting the service light and saw on Youtube a video saying how to do it. Unfortunately I cannot find the 'service due' message, only the oil change one.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks - David

Re: Service light and airbag symbol
Hi,
Have you tried to reset the change oil message by pressing the button at the end of the stalk and the reset button on the front dash at the same time for 10 secs?
It worked on mine, I scrolled through to the change oil message and did the reset.
With reference to the airbag symbol, has anybody caught the passenger airbag disable switch so that it is off. This will show a symbol on the dash. Just a thought.

Hi Tony
Yes, I reset the oil change message as you described but the service light and airbag symbol are still lit. I will go and check the airbag switch now.

Hi Tony
No go. From reading other posts it seems that the most common cause is the wiring under the driver's seat so I will try that again. It's seems a coincidence that this appeared just after 140,000 miles.

Re: Service light and airbag symbol
Hi there i have had the exact same problem and it was the squid that caused mine which is basically the steering stock that your wiper and lights controls are on, inside there it is linked to your airbags now your airbags will now not work due to this problem i first noticed on mine when i was getting like a rubbing/grinding noise whilst steering the car.hope this helps you out. it's not that big a job but reccomend a garage as you need to disable the airbags so as they don't go off whilst removing it from steering wheel so you can then remove steering wheel to get to the squid.
Re: Service light and airbag symbol
Jocko0610, does the steering wheel airbag have to come off? When I steer it sounds like plastic rubbing is this the same as yours?

Hi,
sounds like the squib ( clock spring ).
You'll see on you tube how to do it.
When mine went l got one off Ebay as they are quite expensive new.
When you fit it, disconnect the battery for 10 mins first.
