Can anyone tell me how the hell there can be a problem with the airbags/seatbelts? What would trigger this if nothing close to any impact or fooling around with any electronics occurred? It just doesn't make any sense. The car is in the shop as of right now, but I was just curious while waiting. Any input would be great.

My C32 has been in the shop twice already for the SRS light. Two days ago, it cames back on for the third time.

First time, the dealer changed the clock spring, second time, the wire harness (X1 connector Pin 9/10 loose) ....

I would be very interested to find out what is the cause your SRS light.

 

Great, sounds like a wonderful story of German over-engineering. I'll let you know, should be getting a call from my service advisor tomorrow.

 

Just to let everyone know, twice, the code I had was: "B1025 driver's ignition squib resistance too high"

 

i can second this story (my posts are in another thread on SRS failures). the first was nearly two years ago when they changes the spring. they changed the wiring this past monday.

 

i had mine on but it was the sensor in the passengers seat cudnt tell if someone was there or not

 

It actually seems like that what you guys have said about the passengers seat could be the case. It did happen when someone got in and out of the car (getting some stuff from inside) a few times then it went off when I began to drive so who knows.

 

The car is fixed, but of course the wonderful all knowledgeable service advisor could only tell me they "fixed some wiring under the dash." That's the best he gave me.

 

Look at the invoice, there is a job sheet, which should tell you the error code and the action taken to correct the fault.

 

Will do when I go to pick up the car. I just got the call a few minutes ago, so I'll let you know then. Should be a little after 5ish today.

 

I had the SRS warning once on my 2004 C230... I didn't ask about the exact problem, but when I got the car back, the warning no longer appeared.

 

Alright, here it is:

Cause:
541011 SHORT TEST, PERFORM 582 WM3 0.30
547943 ELECTRICAL WIRING HARNESS, REPAIR 582 WM3 2.20
8 002-546-13-41 A CABLE CONNECT

And that's about it. So it just looks like the were checking to see if something had shorted out or disconnected. They fixed it though

 

i had this problem a few months ago.
turned out to be a loose connection

 

The SRS light is still on. Although they fixed the connector, but only two pins on the connector, based on all the SRS related TSB's, I think, my dealer should have changed out more pins to get rid the problem completely.

Those are the defective connector pins. My dealer, last time, only checked out 4 of them from the parts department for my warranty work. Your used 8 of them, which was consistent with all of the TSB's on alldata.com.

 

I've had srs light on a few months now but I remember seeing light first start to act up after someone sat on Passenger side. I had warranty work done before on srs system so taking her in to MB shop to see if 12 month guarantee will fix it. Wish me luck its pretty annoying to see that warning light.
