I have an SRS warning light and the diagnostics box isn't working so I can't find the problem, I followed the advice on here about plugging the wire into connector 7, turning the ignition on but leaving the engine off, and then holding down the button 1-3 seconds but the light didn't flash.
Can anyone tell me how to make the diagnostics box work, tell me what I'm doing wrong, or give general advice?
I'd rather not just take the SRS bulb out but it looks like I might have to to pass the MOT

Re: Diagnostics not working and SRS light
Does the diagnostics box work on any of the other positions? Or is it completely dead? Depending on that the advice will differ.
Without more, I'd suggest that your SRS problem likely to be the contact reel spring behind the steering wheel...

Re: Diagnostics not working and SRS light
I think none of the positions work
