Re: Airbag symbol showing on dashboard..........

[quote="IanP"] When I have had the door cards off in the past I just left the airbag connected, as I was told disconnecting them would throw a fault code as you have found, Clearing the fault code should sort things. [/quote] Ian,terrific news if that makes sense,that will allow me to carr...
