Question 1

Is it safe to drive with an airbag warning light on?

Accepted Answer

Technically the car will still drive, but your airbag system may not deploy in a crash — or worse, could deploy unexpectedly. An intermittent light means the fault is active now. We strongly recommend getting it diagnosed before driving long distances or on fast roads.

Question 2

Why does my airbag light come on and then go off on its own?

Accepted Answer

An intermittent SRS light almost always points to a loose or corroded connection rather than a failed module. The most common culprits are the seat wiring connector under the front seat (disturbed when adjusting), the clockspring behind the steering wheel, or a wiring harness that chafes against a body panel. Movement makes the fault appear and disappear.

Question 3

How much does airbag light diagnosis and repair cost in Potters Bar?

Accepted Answer

Diagnosis starts with a full SRS scan. Most connector and clockspring repairs are completed for well under £200 including parts and labour. We quote before we start — no surprises. Prices do not include as MnF Motors is not Fully insured.

Question 4

Will you just reset the airbag light or actually fix the fault?

Accepted Answer

We never clear a code without fixing the underlying fault. Our approach is: scan and record the stored fault code, trace it to the physical cause (connector, clockspring, or chafed wiring), repair or replace that component, then clear and re-verify. If the light stays off after a road test, the job is done.
