Hi marty my car is a 1995, i have checked the two srs fuses one in the main fuse box and the other one in the base of the drivers seat, also checked the 5 amp fuse for the OBD socket although i thought it would be ok as it had worked when i looked and cleared the ABS code. I will have another check just to make sure, i can do most jobs but electric drive me around the bend i know that through owning a few Alfas over the years lol! They have a few quirky OBD things too!

Hi new to this forum i am based in Kent and have had a P38 for 5+ years without many problems until i did the heater o ring and i ran the car up without re connecting the instrument cluster, As i turned the key i knew i had F***ed up. So i instantly got the SRS light up on the dash. I know have HawkEye and when it is connected up i just get the message Data Link Error each time i try to connect to the airbags, i have the correct lead and adaptor for the airbags. I have used the HawkEye to conect to the ABS and clear a fault so i know that the unit is working, Today i stripped out the passenger side footwell trim and took the larger connector apart and stripped and soldered and heatshrunk the wires as there was some corrosion (not a lot) within the block, after all of this i am still getting the data link error for the airbags, My next step is to spray some DeOxit into the OBD socket incase some of the pins inside it are corroded other than that i am at a loss has anyone else had this problem i really need to get it sorted as i want to get the car MOT'd
