Title: another thing
Post by: martin w on 17 May 2010, 19:50:14

Did you see my post about my airbag warning light?  Well we were on the school run this morning when there was a loud bang and a burning smell followed by a cloud of smoke I noticed that the seat belt tensioner had deployed, my handbook says that if the warning light is on the system is inoperative so was the bang due to something else? but what could of caused the burning smell or the smoke?.my "to do" list grows by the day god knows what tomorrow will bring

the tensioner is initiated by a pyrotechnic device - think firework. This would explaing the smoke and smell.

I've NEVER heard of one just going off, tho
