Doggtoffy is on a distinguished road
Fog light Gremlins/ airbag light

E53 2001 4.4i

Soooo..

Had the car a year.. not sure to much of the history, but it wasn’t in the best condition. I have replaced a lot of small parts and fixed a stripped prop shaft/. Transfer case. Seems to be ok now but still having a couple of annoying issues preparing my car for ITV (MOT Spain)

1. Fog lights will only stay on if I hold the button down…
I have tried replacing the dash unit/control to one from scrap yard.. no bueno!
I can’t imagine they are both broken so assume it must be an issue with the LCM?

2. Airbag light keeps coming back on.
At first I couldn’t clear the faults… so I ended up stripping the interior out and getting to airbag control… (fun times) with it removed I was finally able to reset it and clear the faults. After 3 days clear.. the airbag light has come back on, now it is indicating that it is the airbag ring. I have tried to track this part number down to see how difficult it is to replace myself (if possible), but I just can’t find it even on REAL OEM page… I wonder if anyone could help me here?
