Afternoon All,
The SRS light has been on in my S203 C270 since we bought it about 6 months ago. Well MOT time is here so I should probably have a look.
My fiance's MG ZR has almost continuous SRS issues due to the crappy connectors under the seats coming loose - give them a wiggle, or tape them up, and the light goes off again, so I'm not usually bothered, but the Merc has me a little concerned.
I've had a look and the connector on the driver's seat looks fine, and at first glance so does the passenger's as well, however I had a closer look and it appears the plastic connector is quite loose - but the cables themselves are secure in the socket - see pictures below.
Yes yes, I know it's filthy down there!
Is this likely to cause the SRS light being on? From what I've read even after an issue is resolved you need STAR to turn the SRS light off, which makes diagnosing the problem a real pain. I'd rather not pay to get diagnostics done if I can help it, I have a basic OBD tool but it's not showing anything relating to the SRS light. Any thing else I can try to diagnose the issue?
As it's been on since we bought the car I can't tell what caused it to coe on in the first place, so I'm a bit in the dark as to what it might be.
Cheers
Ben
