Hi everyone,
Does anyone have a fuse card or copy of one, my recently purchased car is devoid of any literature whatsoever, a drivers hand book would also be useful. My airbag/seat belt pretensioner light is on and want to check the fuse, the card would also be useful in the future.
thanks

@Olliebeak do you have a code reader to clear the fault codes? A common ailment is the contacts in the "A" pillar multi block lose contact. Remove the 8mm bolt and pull the block clear of the pillar. Lift the locking device and part the connector. Spray the contacts with Electrical Contact Cleaner and reassemble. Read and clear codes.

Tony.

Thanks for the fuse location diagram, just what I need. In reply to t-tony, no I dont have a code reader, where is the A pillar block connector located, A pillar suggests the post running down from the windscreen to which the door is bolted.
I recently changed the seats in my recently purchased car from black cloth back to original beige, I changed the drivers seat one day and the airbag light didnt come on. Two days later I changed the passenger seat and had to swap seat pretensioners etc. Only after I fitted this seat the the airbag light came on, I think the fault may have to do with the pretensioner wiring.
Can you recommend a code reader?

Thanks a lot for all your help, it is what is so great about this forum.

I have the Foxwell 530 unit which is very good. Apparently I paid over the odds when I got mine but Adrian @Synclare has the same, he can advise where to buy one.
Yes, that is where the connector block is located. It is likely that your seat swapping has triggered this issue with the Air Bag light but to do it yourself you will need a code reader of some sort. Maybe one of the other members up your way would be able to assist you?
