The error was 71 - error in comms with drivers side sensor.

Cleaned the seat connector (always worth doing), the sensor plug itself, and the main door connector.  Cleared codes.

Any other ideas are welcomed.

My view is to swap drivers and passenger sensors over (if they are interchangable) and see if fault moves to passenger side, or stays with drivers side.

Is that the side impact sensor? If so be a buggar to swap about coz they are rivited in and probably not swappable , but i guess to test your theory you could drill em out swap em over but just let em dangle if the holes dont align up :-/

looks like drivers side one was bolted. dealer already changed this a year or so ago, but we know how dealers lie...

Yes i do  >:( but if its bolted in then dealer probably has changed it.....think you might find passenger side is rivited if it hasnt been changed.....mine are....and as AA's is a facelift too would assume the same on his.

Is this the same door that had the rust repair done on it by the Vx dealer...?

£44.75 but I said how about a trade discount, and she had a word with the parts manager, gave it to me for £37.50.

The original air bag sensor (drivers door) was replaced under warranty.

When TheBoy and I took off the door card there was signs of previous activity as the inner skin was ripped around the air bag sensor.

TheBoy cleaned up the contacts and the air bag light seemed to reset.

Drove all the way back to Brum, no probs.

Went out later to the local post office, no probs.

Came out of the post office and started driving home and at about half way, the air bag light came on again.

Agreed, this was the door that was rust treated by the dealer, but that must be around 3/4 months ago.

He told me he didn't have to remove the door card.
