    ASTRA AH. No airbag fuse but no errors or warnings?

    Hi all,

    I had to replace a blown cigarette lighter/accessories fuse on my Astra AH (rear fuse box). I also did a quick check of the other fuses and found that the Airbag fuse (7.5A) was missing. The mechanic must have taken it off and forgot to install it. How come the ECU did not throw up an error code or warning light in the start up sequence? The airbag warning light turned off after a couple of seconds as it should even without the fuse installed.

    Can anyone shed some light on this?

    Cheers.

    The fuse listings are probably generic for all AH's and don't take into account every specific model or variation. You'll find its probably for cars in a different market.

    I was going by the UK Haynes Vauxhaul/Opel Astra manual of the same model but it should be the same.

    It was definitely missing the F5 Airbags fuse.

    Are there metal contacts in both terminals? Or just one?

    Not sure as the top one was hidden but the bottom one was there. Also, the Owner's Manual says F5 is for Airbags as well.
