Anyone know where to find pax airbag sensors in wiring diagrams?
thanks

 

Is this what you are looking for? Look at Fig 18.1

I think pax = passenger

but it's weird.

 

yes, pax stands for passenger
thanks gus, my problem was I was looking in my2000 wiring printout sheets that I had for my previous xk8 and it was not in that car.

 

Hi Gus,

Thank you for replying, I was reading your tips from the other posts and I came to that conclusion also. As a result this morning I did exactly what you have said minus the hard reset.

I am obviously more than happy to try that, please can you confirm the procedure so we are both reading from the same hymn sheet as such

I will say what I did this morning in case I have missed anything.

I got into the car, started it up, pushed the down button on the hood once it started to unlatch, then clicked and cut all power, I immediately released my finger from the button and depressed the down button again and it picked up from where it left off and fully retracted itself, dropping the rear quarter windows and parking the latch and finally moving the front windows back to their fully up position.

After that I got some penetrating oil and sprayed it around the catch area and used a pencil to move the microswitch with the fulcrum multiple times to make sure it was operating freely .. I also made sure the locking pins at both ends were lubricated in case they were sticking..I then tried to put it up again and no change ..

I will say though, I did notice that it I pressed the up button on the switch then waited for the bings to say the hood is coming up, if I then depressed the microswitch on the fulcrum at that moment the catch itself would come fully up but the hood still wouldn't move and the pump would just run until it timed out.

Hope I am making sense

Thanks again
James

 

Perfect sense, James ...... but not in this thread.
