Haven't had a chance to check the bulbs yet, but the 4ws & SRS airback lights don't come on when the others do when I first turn the ignition key...

Thats bad, every light comes on to show everything works.

Wont be an expensive fix though mate, someone just got lazy, and dangerous

Someone has taken the bulbs out. Put them in and check the codes, might only need a reset.

Seeing as the car has had the ABS bulb removed also, my money is on a sensor.

This is what annoys me about 4ws, it is not the fault of the device which is it's downfall, it is the crappy support network. Garages all shake their heads, even Honda. So people give up, try to hide the problem and sell up.
Where as the information is freely available on the internet to fix any 4ws problem, and cheaply.

So dont worry mate, it is no biggie to sort

Its the SRS light that doesn't come on, ABS is fine so hopefully when I replace the 4WS bulb it'll just need a reset. Thanks for all the support.

Slighly off subject, has anybody seen the size of the 4WS controll unit on a 4th gen? Its bolted onto the back of the rear seats, jesus christ I'm more of a 3 wire guy

Yeah its a beast aint it, weighs a ton. If you are considering removing it, its fairly simple, and reflowing the relay solder is easy too, but you will need a magnifying glass. Just be sure to disconnect the battery. And put it back in via the boot is alot easier

I wish I had the skill to convert it to mechanical 4WS...
