SRS woe's

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Hi all

Hope someone can help me out on this one before I loose what little hair I have left.
I had SRS lit up on the dash and thanks to the help of good souls on forums thought I had sorted the problem and so took it to a dealership to turn off the light, they couldn't turn off the light giving the reason that the seats fitted were not compatable with the car, so the wiring was wrong, (long story) so I came away and as my mot is due soon went and got second hand seats from our local breaker, cleaned them up re did the wiring (soldered joins) and hoped that was job done, once again a very kind forum member (thank you very much) came to my aid and let me drive out today and he hooked up his vida dice he cleared the light 3 times but it still came back with the same codes so if i list them could anyone give me a hint as to where I can start to try and get this sorted, one of the codes is for passenger side seat belt but there is no wiring from the belt clip and the scap yard where I got the belt clip from said he checked 4, V70's and none had wired passenger belt clips is this the norm or do I have a one off, all and any help greatly recieved.

SRS-412 left SIPS bag signal missing

Have you cleared the codes since changing the seats?

"defective srs control module" sounds like the cause of the problem.
If the main control module is playing up, it could cause all the other problems.

Hi do you know how much of a job is changing one of those? and are they interchangable (secondhand)? I did think if the wiring has been messed with if it had fried the module.

All volvos has had an elec cable connected to the belt catch for years.
If you sit on the seats without clipping the belt into the holder do you have a flashing warning light in the cabin?If you don't thats another problem but might be all related together

You may be able to get a 2nd hand one but it'll probably need flashing by a main stealer.

right then the second hand seats came with a belt clip on the drivers seat(wired) but not on the passengers seat, so I fitted the one off the old seats( none wired), I've just been thinking that the old drivers seat had the new clip that I got(wired) still attached, so I have just taken that off the old seat and tryd to plug it in to the passenger seat wiring loom and it fits, the terminals in the multiplug correspond but if you put the ignition on whether anyone on the drivers seat or not and the overhead lights flash, plug in the belt clip and the lights stop even though someone sat on the passenger seat, whether the buckle clipped or not makes no difference ????? any ideas anyone

Once you fasten the belt the light should go off.
Have you got a few weeks to the test?

You were lucky because your vehicle should have failed .
It is now part of the mot test since last year but your garage is maybe working to the old rules
