Srs Warning Lamp

[HUELINS]

I have an E240 Estate,Year 2000. The SRS warning lamp stays illuminated and the 'passenger airbag off' orange light in centre console is illuminated.

My local garage (non merc) reckon it needs a new seat sensor which is going to cost an arm and a leg to supply and fit as the leather seat needs dismantling etc.

Anyone got any ideas before I have this done????

It is normally the connector under the seat that need attention and not the seat sensor

I have a simular problem with my ml 320 but its just the srs light.First of all the light would light up for a while then go off,but this past week its been on all the time.I have noticed a little lump in the passanger seat would this be the sensor.

Yep, sensor itself on 210 E class models, although the laters ones (230, 211 etc) do suffer from the connectors.

seat sensors

Is the local Merc franchise the only place to purchase seat sensors????
