SRS Dash light

So, yellow clip under drivers seat... disconnect after engine has been off for 30 mins+ then open and spray some WD-40 in it?

If I haven'y got any WD-40 can I use GT85?

It's worth doing both seats, the problem is usually the drivers, but can be either, I dont normally bother waiting 30 mins.

It's not just engine off, it's battery disconnected.
According to rave it is 10 minutes, although I just unplugged.

You don't need to WD40 it, just try unplugging and replugging.

It's happened to me twice, both times it was the passanger seat and after a long 36 hour ferry crossing.

Leave it all connected, WD40 both plugs, never had any comeback for 3 and 1/2 years.
