Hello,
My 2001 1.9d 206 failed the mot this morning on the airbag light being continusly on on the dash board.
Does anyone know how to turn this off?
It does not have side bags so therefore there are no plugs underneath the seats.
Many Thanks

is the light always on when you bought the car?
removing fuse, disconnecting airbag will make the light on

Take the clocks apart and tape over both of the airbag lights from the inside and also disconnect your mfd if it's one of the one where airbag fault come up before you go back in, always reconnect mfd afterwards.

Well you all giving a solution for something wrong,it must be fixed,not for the MOT sake,but for the driver and passenger sake,beacuase airbag is very important and can save your life,so get it scanned,and see what is wrong,fix it,and it will PASS.
