Airbag Light

[Jack]

Airbag light has starting flashing, anyone know anything about them 98Nb
thanks

I had a problem with mine not long after I bought it. When I put the right
indicator on, the airbag light flashed in time with the indicator and the
engine died immediately (going around a roundabout at 5pm of course!).
In my case I found the problem to be poor earthing. Behind the right
headlight there are a number of earth points. I repaired those and all has
been fine since. This did require removal of the headlight.
As a starting point I would check all earths and any plugs you can get at
for fitting properly. If that's not it then it's a job for the experts. Hate
to have an airbag go off unnecessarily.

I wonder if this is an NB thing then.........I have a massive earthing block on mine with around 6 tails to various parts of the engine and frame

where are the sensors that make the air bag go off? I have my bumper off to improve my intercooler mounting and can't see anything that looks like a sensor,
