My volvo 940 celebration has been off the road for a while, needing a few bits (tyres, brakes etc). Now i'm in a position to get it back on the road. However, before taking it for its annual MOT (I'm UK Based), i noticed the horn wasn't working. Some googling suggested wires behind the airbag, so i disconnected the battery and removed the airbag. I managed to get the horn working, and reassembled the airbag and screwed it all back in as it was.
Now i have an SRS light on the dash. I have tried disconnecting the battery for a period of time, i have tried taking out and reinstalling the airbag again, and still i have this SRS light.
I can't move the car to a garage as it has no road tax or MOT currently, and i can't take it for MOT as the SRS light is on and it would fail the test.
I have googled extensively on how to extinguish the light with little success apart from the fact i might need some software and a cable.
My car does have the OBD2 port in the armrest but from what i understand, only very few readers will actually work with this?
Can anyone help me before i'm forced to break the car up for bits? hich is a shame as its a good one and i was in the process of getting it back to its former glory, but i can't just have it sitting around abandoned so i either need to fix it or get it sold to someone who can. I dont want to sell it, however, if theres nothing more i can do, i have no choice.
It needs four tyres and front brake pads (which i was getting done before all this happened!) apart from that, its running great now.
Many Thanks
James
