Nothing blown up yet!

I just went for it! (what with the aniversary of the moon landing, if they can do that - I can do this!)

First experiment done - Bought a 2.7 ohm resistor from maplin, and shorted out the airbag circuit before the slip ring with the resistor, VAG-COM'd it and cleared fault. Fault disappeared but airbag light stayed on! - However when I disconnected the VAG-COM light went out - ALICK-HAS-HAM

By deduction it must be either the slip-ring or the airbag!

Next we shall do some testing of the slip ring! -I WILL BE BACK!
