Explicit resolution reports before identified causes, performed actions and suggestions. Within each level, matching component labels precede direct query mentions and inherited thread context; successful versus unsuccessful discussion counts, owner confirmations and independent discussion support determine order. This is not a probability of success.

Coverage and how to read this overview

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.

5 eligible posts · 0 unverified posts · 1 discussions match the subject in their title or opening post.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I have a broken window regulator and am waiting for the replacement to arrive from the excellent Design 911. I have put the door back together as feel as I can but the airbag warning light below the dials is still on. Does this have to be reset or have I cocked up the connect/sensor/everything….?

POST 3Original post

And hopefully you didn't mess around with your airbag and it's connections with the battery connected. If you did, just keep in mind not to next time or you may end up with a face full of airbag

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Interesting you say that….. I disconnected negative terminal before disconnecting airbag then had to move car so reconnected battery. When I tried to disconnect after that the alarm kept going off so put it all back together with bat connected. Not sure how or why the alarm went off without battery connect….

POST 5Original post

mine came on after having the seat out. took it to the shop that does euro repairs and they reset it for free.
