In the cold weather in UK the rear wiper stopped working. Got it checked and found that the fuse was blown. The garage replaced the fused. When I switched the engine on, the airbag light did not go off, it remains on. The garage said it may be because of the new fuse, and that after driving a few miles the air bag light go off. But the light remains on. Why did the airbag light come on after changing the fuse?
Any help would be appreciated.

Hello,

Please first have the vehicle fault codes read out to see what possible codes could be stored relating to the airbag system.

What a vehicle or CAN scan is:

The rear wiper fuse is fuse 1 on the interior fuse box, dash panel (driver side)

The airbag module has no fuse supplying it with 12V. It is supplied directly from the ignition switch.

Please let us know how you get along.

Cheers, Boris
