SRS RED light on 560SEL 1989
I bought this car with this problem; the SRS red light remains lighting as long as the engine is started.
It's diuble air-bag. I did my best to fix it but no use. I discovered something; i know that to fuction properly when I turn the switch a little bit before I start the engine that the light will turn on for some seconds the off. With my car it turns on and after a few seconds it blinks but barely noticed blinks. And this blink remain until I turn off the engine. Please I really need to know how to fix this problem. I went to the best electricals but all said that there is no computer wiring to fix your car because it's 1989. Thank you in advanced : ))..

The airbag module is in the center dash right under the ashtray and radio. Take the ashtray out and you will see an Airbag module or computer. Take it out and replaced with another. If problem still persists then its either in the airbag computer or your electricals. AS ALWAYS- Disconnect the battery when removing that airbag module and when installing one

Actually, I don't beleive you can see it through the ashtray opening. IIRC the crash sensor is under the insulation mat. You have to pull the center console and lift the mat. The sensor is attached to the tranny hump with 4 screws.
The SRS MIL could be lit due to a faulty or disconnected airbag, faulty or disconnected ETR (seat belt tensioner) or a tripped crash sensor ie: the car was in a wreck and the blown bags were replaced and not the sensor. Same would/could happen if the bags and sensor were replaced but not the ETR's.

On w124s at least, this light most often indicates simply faulty brushes in the steering wheel, i.e. nothing really wrong with the airbags but rather just the wiring in the steering wheel.

This was the cause of my SRS light. I checked the easy stuff/cheap stuff first, loose tumbler/ignition, seat belts, voltage regulator, and finally the horn hub behind the steering wheel. About an $80 part. Easy DIY once you get the steering wheel off. If the bolt is in there good, you need two people to break it loose. One to torque and the other person to hold the steering wheel. If you notice the SRS light flickering coincident with turing the steering wheel, this is probably it. glenmore 1991 300CE 1990 LS400 2000 C280

Still not solved.
I did the followings: 1. Reset the ANALOG error code. 2. Changed the driver's airbag. 3. Checked the brushed and all cleaned. What else I can do? The car has a double airbag not one.
