I was thinking more of the vibration damaging a filament in one bulb so the other stays lit.

If your bulb is constantly lit it could be just that - the bulb. Battery tip top?
Perhaps it’s beginning to dry out now it’s under cover

If one bulb is out of should be slightly dimmer on one side of the SRS. not really noticed if you don't look for it and the ambient light isn't just right

That sounds plausible. Or even the vibration causing a bulb to not seat properly. I had a bugger of a time reseating one of mine and needed the Nanocom to reset the fault.

Put a mug of something hot on the dash... Then turn the screen on. That'll tell you if it's working

It took four visits to fit mine last month. First guy turned up and said it was going to rain so left? Next guy said he didn't have the correct trims so left. Third guy turned up in the rain and said his awning not tall enough to cover the car. Number. four fitted it. This took three weeks in all.

Luckily I have a garage big enough to get the car in and for him to work around it.I got a phone call in the morning asking if I could go to their depot as "the weather looks iffy" I told him no as I'm shielding, he was happy when he arrived. Nice guy and he wouldn't fit the new top trim because it had a dent in it. That's being fitted tomorrow. Must get dressed and go and test the heated screen before they come.

Well I tested the screen and only the near side works,looked at Rave and they couldn't make the set-up more complicated if they tried
got the old laptop running so when I'm waiting for the screen guy tomorrow I can have a look for the airbag fault and the screen relays. Number 5 is ok as the n/s is working got to check if its powering number4.for the o /s.

when I checked mine the driver side was clearing quicker than passengers side my neighbour who id a electrician tested it and found the driver side was using more polarity than the passenger side he said was about 2 amp differential in themWell I tested the screen and only the near side works,looked at Rave and they couldn't make the set-up more complicated if they tried

yeah I didn't think to check the relay to be honest I just thought seeing as though is working it best to leave itCheers,I'll still check out the number 4 relay to make sure its powering up the o/s of the screen.,need to make sure the faults not with the replacement.
