The Airbag light is on because there is a fault somewhere,
the most common problem is a loose connection somewhere a popular one is under driver chair
this may only apply to P3's though just make sure everything is plugged in and secure!

if your not sure what your doing get it to someone who knows what there doing,

as for the speedo
this can happen for a couple of reasons
they work by receiving a signal from your ecu

mine went funny due to a break in a wire by the bottom of the bumper
but commonly it's just the silver (metal fuse) under your steering column picking up static iirc
just take it out give it a wipe and put it back

I have same problem, loose connection under the passenger chair in my ph3. Sometimes I can sort it, then if the chair is moved or sat in it can come on again.

What I'm going to do is because I know its just a dodgy connection and the airbags should work fine, I'm going to take the bulb out from the airbag light in the dash. That will stop it going off

I've been told it will still get through an MOT too

I have enough nicknames already, you think I care? lol

I thought it would be easier taking dash out than it is the chair as I'm looking to upgrade the dials with some white bulbs instead of the yellow older bulbs.

there's also the issue of if your Airbag system develops a serious issue that may stop your airbag from working and you'd never know about it!

at the end of the day it's there for your safety just sort it properly it's the best way

ive managed to sort the airbag problem now,was a dodgy connection under the passenger seat lol.gonna have to take the car to the garage tho about the speedo,works most of the time bt occasionally stops and is very annoyin,1 of the common faults apparently :/

I hope I'm reading this wrong? You've removed the connectors and just intertwined the wires together? Similar to this.



If so at least get some electrical insulation tape around them.

Na looks nothing like that!

Basically theres a female yellow block holding one wire with a female end connected that is stuck to the chair, I've left that how it is. Then there was a male yellow block that clicks into place in the yellow block which had the other wire with male end bit. I have removed the male yellow block only.

The wire still connects to eachother securely, and theres now just the 1 female yellow block that gives them a bit of protection and keeps them securely stuck to the chair (not hanging).

Hope this explains it a bit better, not sure if ph3 have differenct connections under the chair to others but dont have any pics

The yellow blocks are similar to the ones found that connect the front door speakers.

The wires look similar to this but with just the female block around them
