AIRBAG LIGHT REMAINS ON
I removed steering wheel to replace indicator stalk and fix an intermittent horn problem
In doing so I damaged the clock spring and drove the car for a couple of weeks with the CS disconnected until I could get a replacement. Of course the airbag warning light was illuminated. I have now replaced the clock spring and fitted another alternator which decided to fail in this period. I have a OBDll reader which would not link so I took it down to my friendly BMW/VW workshop who tried all his VAG OBD scanners which also would not link. I have since found that tere is no voltage at pin 16 of the OBD port and all fuses check out OK I have snipped the blue bridge wire on the after market radio harness.
I would welcome any suggestions on this before I take the car to the dump.
