Has anyone on the
forum had experience with insurance and airbag lights.
We had our VX Commodore in for repairs (small rear impact - with a tree!) and when we went to pick up the vehicle after repairs, the airbag light was on (some two weeks later).
The insurance looks like it's not going to cover it. Our view is that we weren't even in possession of the car, and also the light certainly wasn't on when we took the car to the repairers.
Would be interested to know if we have a case against the insurance company, if they decide not to cover it.

Although the other threads may have covered most of your issues.
I had a recent experience with a bingle where a car drove into the passenger side of the vehicle and damaged the bull bar. The repairer ripped off the bar and while waiting for a replacement put the standard bumper back on.
When the Bull bar was refitted my ABS and handbrake light was on.
The auto electrician (aledged) shorted out the electrics and blew the ABS ECU and caused other electrical issues took 3 weeks to get fixed....
So was any power, lights etc touched?

Not sure what they would have done as far as electrical etc is concerned, but thanks to everyone for all this info....we are gathering it all and will then have a case to present, and be better informed to argue our case.
Cheers

Have you tried having the ECU reset yet?
