R33 Air Bags Released

[Proximity Motorsport]

Hey

I bought a r33 gts wreck and I can't get the windows or central locking to work, thought it might have something to do with the airbags releasing, I tried disconnectig battery, but still no good. The car won't start either, starter makes noise but it won't crank. Anyone got ideas?

checked all the fuses? and did you get an alarm/immobiliser fob with the car?

define 'wreck' was it in a big smash?

is the battery good?

if the above is good, check if its getting power to the starter, if it is, then the starter is rooted, or the motor is siezed

Hey. Yeah it has a good battery in it, and the starter is getting power, and it makes a clicking noise when I turn the key. When it stops raining I'll have to start pulling stuffed panels off it to see if wiring Is damaged. No worries guys thanks for that, just thought it may need something reset due to the airbags going off, thought it may be a safety feature to kill motor and lower windows

if the bags went off there will be a reason for it. before you go any further I would get a measurement book and check chassis points. no good repairing it if its bent.

bags are not related to the issues you are having. look in the engine bay fuse panel.

Don't the doors unlock in a crash with the air bags going off? And stay unlocked after that?

Doesn't explain power windows though, both are controlled from the driver's side door...

If battery doesnt have enough charge to turn starter, it clicks really really fast, if it has enough charge it'll turn (slowly), so likely an electrical fault.
