    Cool Re: Fiat stilo airbag light

    Its probably dirty conectors under the seats [orange ones] unclip them one by one give them a clean up with contact cleaner and connect them back together..then start the car back up and see if that clears the fault..

    If it persists then you might have to get the car into fiat cos they did an update.. replace part of the harness for the airbag system and that got new connectors on it which are a big improvement to the old ones..but quite often its just dirty connectors and a bad conection..

    Yep keep us in the loop..

    Just spray it onto the copper/brass connections after you have split the connectors into two parts ..hold the can about 5/6" away and give them a good blast..its a cleaning agent with compressed air in a can will dissolve all dirt and dry within minutes..:)

    Make sure the connectors are back together nice and tight after and even wrap some tape around them if need be to keep the join nice and snug..
