Got the igniter freed from the sill to access the plug. Bit crusty but not that bad.
Cleaning and dosing with contact cleaner made no difference. Bending the prongs a little to increase the contact tension made no difference. Shorting the plug changed the error to "igniter resistance too low".
Bit of online research suggests that typical igniter resistance is 2 -3 ohms so I found a 2.2 ohm resistor and plugged that in. Error cleared and stayed clear. However, the airbag warning light stays on...... even though no codes at all are thrown with the resistor in place......
Seems that the igniter really is knackered but I'd like to see the light go out before buying another seatbelt assembly.
