The mines ecu wont make a difference.
The airbags(SRS) run off its own control unit.
You need to get this specific circuit diagnosed.
Try and find an anto electrician that has experience with these cars and those systems.
Hope this helps.
Goodluck.
A massive thanks to the guys from top secret for organising a great meet.
Sooo many cars.
I only saw 1 cop car early in the arvo on the way in.
A lot of people seemed to be behaving themselves, which is always good to see.
Will post pics tomorrow or Sunday.
