If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there

According to the MOT manual, it is a fail if the bulb doesn't come on, or doesn't go off.
There is a diagnostic port that I will have a look for today, that you ground a pin and it causes the lamp to flash the error code.
I had a look in the manual, and discovered that for the past 5 years, mine has been telling me that there is an uncleared historic error code stored :ohmy:
The airbag light comes on steady for a few seconds, and goes off if all is well.
Mine gives 6 flashes and then goes out, which means there is a historic code.
If they flash 6 times and stay on there is a current fault, usually a disconnection, most likely the tape measure style spool behind the steering wheel. connector

That didn't work :huh:
The monitor coupler is on the drivers side, remove that flap below the steering column ~(2 screws and pull backwards to disengage the plastic clips)
The coupler has just 1 purple wire and is part of the yellow airbag harness.
Ground this wire and the airbag light flashes the code(s) over and over e.g. flash....flashflash.............................flash....flashflash.... is 12.
12 means "Everything is Awesome" and is what it should say.
Then you switch off & on again wait 6 seconds, then ground the wire for a second, release for a second 5 times to clear the codes.
Mine just says 12 and clearing it does nothing, maybe it is supposed to flash 6 times and go out, and the manual is written badly :whistle:
