Hello,

I have an issue with my 05 Berlingo Steering Wheel Squib. I am looking for a replacement but its proving difficult. My current one has the Steering wheel controls for the radio and is part number 96530925xt.

Is anybody able to advise if i can get a different item (not same part number) to repair this?

Thanks

Not sure what a squib is, not a term I have come across.

Do you mean the section behind the steering wheel that houses the various stalks for lights, indicators, wipers/washers, cruise control, etc?

It's not a single item but is made up of several units each controlling the different functions. What exactly is the issue you are having?

I've got an airbag fault and when I had the car scanned it's the drivers airbag squib which is in the steering wheel.

Is this the detonator which sets off the air bag ?

Haha.

It is unlikely that you would need to replace the whole COM2000 unit or squib as you call it. Some of these suffer from a broken or dodgy airbag earth connection. Open, clean contacts, reconnect and see if it helps. Careful with the airbag.

A squib in my area is a small firework like a penny banger , also known as a damp squib which instead of going off with a bang , it just fizzled out due to dampness when stored. A damp squib is the same as a lead balloon.

Therefore :-
a post that mentions , Squib + airbag = ?????, what !, you cant replace a squib in the airbag. !
