2005 C55 'Silver Bullet'
C55 occasional SRS warning code??

Just picked up an 05 silver C55 and I noticed the SRS light popped up yesterday for a while. It went on and off, and did not stay on for long. The passenger airbag light on the dash also lit up for a bit then similarly went away.

I did some digging through some old threads and most were for C32s...so anyone out there experience this? The previous owner replaced the alternator/battery before the sale...

Cheers!

Never had this on my C55, but have had this on my GL450. Problem was a bad sensor in the passenger seatbelt buckle. Once replaced, the problem went away.

+1 on the bad seat belt sensor. They tend to go bad a lot on german cars, mainly on bmw's. Not much on c32/c55 from what i seen. Might be worth checking out.

Could be the famous failing child safety seat sensor.

I would think it would be the seat sensor if the airbag light was turning off and on. It could be easily diagnosed with a star
