Hi,
First thing I would do is loosen all the seat mounting bolts, tip the seat back and check the wires, if she went down with such a thud a wire might of got trapped or broken.
Did you not get the error code when you got the light took out?

OBD Eleven can show error codes, I have it myself.
Connect to the car, click scan and it will list all the number of error codes and have the module number in a red circle above the 'scan' area.
Each number with a red circle around it is the module with the fault, so go into the modules and select the correct number and then press 'show faults' or words to that effect (going from memory).
You can then view the fault codes and make a not of them.
Failing that, after the scan is complete you should see an email icon at the top of the screen. Press that and email it to yourself.

@Daveyonthemove
Great answer and great example concerning the help being offered thread. 'Quality off Posts'

Your response must have been a tremendous help and relief to the OP who is clearly having trouble sorting out or knowing where to start with the problem he has. With your advice he is now streets ahead which will probably save him a great deal of money at the garage if it is a loose or trapped wire that he and his friends can sort,and clear the fault code.
Much better than being told to search or referred to someone else. I know who to ask with my next problem!

I agree thanks again Dave managed to sort the problem was under the seat problem solved thanks again

As i've said in another recent thread, I'm not here to fall out with people or annoy them.
I like to help where I can. I am glad the little bit of advice I could offer has helped someone. That's what forums are about.

For anyone thinking of getting OBD Eleven, I put together a very basic overview of what it can do so people know what to expect.

I hope it helps people who are not sure if it's for them or not.
Please remember, I'm no expert on this app, but will help where I can.
