I have just checked my car and my light dosnt come on either.
Leading evidence: 'Check car and my light dosnt come' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'light would stay' (1 discussions; 0 report identifying it and 1 suggest it). The most frequently discussed action is 'Check car and my light dosnt come' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

Suspected cause
If you got the resistor bit wrong more likely the light would stay on rather than off

If you are near M1 J26 I'm happy to check for codes.

He said because of the light , and the law change , still looks like going to be annual Mot prep job
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Took the car for MOT and it failed on the airbag warning light not coming on , car is fitted with a cup steering wheel ,airbag light has been resistered out , Im told the law altered last May ,the light has to come on and then go out rather than not on at all
Seems as tho its going to be a annual thing for MOT in fitting old wheel and then swopping back , anybody else had problems
Gary
If the resistor has been fitted and the bulb is working then the light should come on and go off as normal. Are you sure that is why it failed? It would also fail because an airbag which was originally fitted is not present. That would make a lot more sense.
MC
Fair enough, but if your light isn't coming on now, I don't see how swapping your steering wheel back will change that? With the resistor fitted, as far as the airbag controller is concerned your airbag is present.
MC
But if your light is not coming on now, what will make it come on when you swap the wheel and the wiring? The point of the resistor is to mimic the airbag. I.E. the light comes on and goes off as normal with the resistor fitted. If this isn't happening now I don't see how swapping your wheel will help?
MC
Everything was ok before swop , unless ive put the resister in the wrong place if thats possible even , or there is another way to do it different to what ive done to minic light on and then off
Have you put the old wheel back on, and did that solve the problem?
The resistor can only really go in one place, so I'd be amazed to see if you had got it wrong.
As others have said, the light should still come on even with the resistor in place
I think it should be on for a few seconds on ignition position 1 then go off.
If it isn't doing that I would plug it in to diagnostics and read the codes. If you are near M1 J26 I'm happy to check for codes.
MC
Mine comes on and goes off just like it did before the bag was removed. If your doesnt come on at all my guess would be the bulb rather than anything you have done. If you got the resistor bit wrong more likely the light would stay on rather than off
