Brilliant! Sorted my airbag/service lamp, separated both under-seat plugs and sockets, sprayed both with electrical cleaner and let them dry 5mins, re-connected squeezing them tight after pushing the slide back-in, airbag/service lamps now out. Now I know that's where the problem is if it re-occurs I'll remove the plugs/sockets and solder the wires. Thank you for the vid, appreciated ;)
Here's another delightful Megane II airbag story. Its an rs225, after months of misery, new steering rack, dual mass flywheel and clutch, windscreen, airbag squib, throttle body etc i smugly sat in the cabin full of joy after finishing my pig of a clutch job. Glanced under the steering wheel and for the first time noticed ooh! The steering wheel's height adustable, never noticed before as the lever is off centre. Made the fatal error of, well fatal in the Renault world of simply adjusting the steering wheel height to the upper position. And guess what everyone, yep! Airbag and service light come on! Aaaaaaaahhhhhhh!!! Took the wheel, squib everything off, made sure all connections were disconnected, then firmly reconnected, light stayed off!! Idled the car for ages and it never came on!whereas it was coming on and off instantly previously. Came back to the car three hours later, lights on again!! Took a major huff and rammed steering wheel down to the lower position, light is off! For how long though? Answers on a postcard......
Hi, Gerard. Did you have to reset the airbag ECU error codes after completing this? If so, is it possible without an external diagnostic device (i.e. with pressing and holding the control button behind the steering wheel, as one would do after changing oil)?
+Irfan Kahvedžić on the 2003 model megane, the error codes do not need to be cleared with a diagnostics machine, at least not when its something like an open circuit fault. If the airbag ECU needed replacement, that is when a diagnostic computer is required. So when I repaired the open circuit fault under the passanger seat, one ignition cycle reset the warning light. hope that helps buddy
You are correct the wire colours do not align, in order not to mix them up you should make a note of the wiring colour and in position in both the male and female plug. Then solder the matching wire one at a time.
thnx for the answer! I assume the wires are connected in a parallel way? what I'm saying is that in theory I should be able to remove one at the time an soldier it to the one across? I don't know if I'm making myself clear enough and for that I apologize.
the rule is to disconnect the negative terminal of the battery for a half hour before disconnecting any airbags/wiring. Fyi I didn't disconnect the battery.

Your pain is real, my friend
Thank you very much... Your video help me today to fixing customer cars
I appreciate that
Thanks
hazim al baghdady did you follow the same procedure and stop give the warning?
muchas gracias, acabo de resolver en mi Sandero de la misma manera ,era lo mismo
Sandero = Renault ,
Thank you, you just made my day
Hi. Trying to do this on a 2005 car. One side of the connector has 4 extra wires than the other side, any idea what should be done with these? Thanks
Sorry, i don't know

***** sorry I don't understand your question

Hi folks in general it seems that is the wire connection under the driver seat is that correct? Please give us more information on that thanks
or passengers seat
Do u have to disconnect the battery before u take apart the cables under the seat?
Agent GuL yes . correct procedure is to disconnect battery before disconnecting any airbag connectors
Thank u. I just need to find my radio code.
Radio code list here google.ie
can u please tell me which cable is supposed to be soldiered to which? they have completely different colors?

I think what your a saying makes sense, one at a time is a good idea.
Did you solder them one by one parallel? I understand what you mean and I have to do this job but can't find a diagram
Mine is a Renault Laguna, same error. I soldered the wires but the error is still there. Make no sense. Do you what else can be? Thanks
Thank you very much I thing I have some problem think need to go to garage but not I know where is the problem know so the again
it can be difficult to diagnose the location of the fault, if the warning light comes on when the seat is moved, u got it!
Do you have the colour code of the conections??
I have that problem and I wanted to fix it
I don't have the colour code sorry
Francisco Correa
i have some problem airbag and service ????
How the hell do I open that connector? Just pull? Or do I have to press something and pull
You will need to release the peg, it deeper inside
@@gerardwhite5925 I mean just to disconnect it. Not to take it apart.
@@PappiH the plastic cover has a release catch
@@gerardwhite5925 thanks
2:07 why you jump in time?
its the issue i have with the connector, i need 2 hands. Holding a phone :)
Bon soir .plaise je veux le schema des câbles airbag sous le cieges passager Mégane III. J ai problème des places des couleurs des fil merci
Désolé, je n'ai pas de données sur Megane III. Bonne chance
When you did this did the airbag and service light go out
Yep service and Airbag light go out together
How can i buy this part
Which part do you mean?
Why don't you just fix the connector? Soldering is a good idea, until you need to remove the seat.
Because those connectors are a nightmare to re wire so easier to cut the wires and soldering them together.
Hi, do I have to disconnect the battery when working on the airbag system or can I just cut the wires and solder them, Thanks.
the rule is to disconnect the negative terminal of the battery for a half hour before disconnecting any airbags/wiring. Fyi I didn't disconnect the battery.
Thankyou Regards George.
