Air Bag problem!!! Dealer will not help pay!!! What are my options?

My air bag light is on. Monrovia, CA Dealer says the wiring harness and module need to be replaced. I have a 2003 MC 85,000+ miles. Way out of waranty. Cost to replace ~ $1500.

They have been very understanding so far to the fact that it is a lot of money. I called MINI North america to try and get them to pay for it but no luck.

What else can I do? Does anyone know of a simular situation?

If your not mechanical inclined find independent shop that is familiar with Mini.

If you can do the work get yourself a code reader for airbags like this http://www.obdtoolstore.com/shop/pro...3dbbd4031beb7f
