Hi, I have an ml 2006 w164 320 diesel. I have to replace the left side curtain airbag. I’ve been told to connect up and make it work the dash needs to come out ? Does anyone know if this is correct

Did you replace your curtain airbag? Did you find it was just a loose connection? Where did you find the connector for the left curtain? In the left a-pillar? Under the dash? Did you have to remove the dash? I had a left curtain air bag warning/fault but I was able to clear it, but I'm afraid it may come back if a loose connection is the case.. maybe that's what it was in your case. Interested to learn your findings though!

Generally the airbag wiring connector will be at one end of the curtain airbag, my W204 one was near the rear just above the rear door opening, cant see it being different on a W203
If you have had a deployment of the airbag you will need to remove the console to get to the airbag module under the dash to reprogram or replace.
