[boonga]

hi all im trying to sell a vt acclaim wagon a lady come and took it for a drive today and just my luck the airbag light lit up it has never done this before is this going to be an easy fix or a big problem.

The only way to reset it is with a Tech 2, so you will have to take it to Holden or someone with the right equipment. The light will come back on if there is a problem. Did this happen out of the blue or after you did some work on it?

Check the cables that link your seats into the wiring harness. A loose connection there will show up as an airbag warning because of the seat mounted side impact air bags.

it was out of the blue i havn't worked on it in a while. ill check the cable but thanks heaps guys it couldn't have happened at a worse time :b

has the car been in an accident before?

[boonga]

no not since iv owned it it has had some scrapes (not me) but nothing major. i just checked under the drivers seat wouldn't go off also disconnected the battery and re connected it. should i check the passanger side seat too

The light won't reset even if you've found the problem. There is only one way as I mentioned earlier.

thanks for that i think it was a blown fuse

You need to erase the fault with a diagnostic tool.
At Holden or a private workshop. auto-elec shop should have a diagnostic machine.
check the plugs under the seats like the others have said.
