As far as I consern, it is not a very dangerous problem, it's just some bad
contacts or so. And my bet is that it is quite expensive to fix, especially in Norway. So if anyone knows the cause/source of the problem, I will be gratefull if you share that information.

Last I heard, you need to wait 30 minutes after disconnecting the battery to allow the airbag condenser to unload. Don't test resistance to try to find the bad contact, please.

Since we're betting, I'll bet you'd rather pay some money than lose your sight or worse when the thing blows in your face while you're twiddling with it. > So if anyone knows the cause/source of the problem, I will be > gratefull if you share that information. You've apparently got a faulty airbag circuit. Leon posted some diagnostic information, but since you seem pretty cavalier about the dangers of a faulty airbag, I suggest you just take it to a professional ASAP. Cheers, Dana |

It may only be a corroded contact, so it may not be that expensive to get it fixed. Not worth literally losing you head over. If you do end up trying it yourself using some shop manual, give some additional time for the condenser to unload after the battery has been disconnected beyond what may be listed (go do something else for 30 minutes) and do not use anything that may create a voltage or static electricity when taking apart and cleaning the contacts.
