Yes - when I bought the car and started reading up about the faults I soon realised I wasn't going to resolve much without a code reader.

I bought the BSR one from Nordic and initially there were 21 fault codes stored, but all deleted and only 5 returned.

The relevant ones are DIM 0006, orange warning lamp, and SRS 00D4 SRS, indicator lamp.

The SRS warning and the light both disappeared after I soldered the side of the chip nearest the centre of the pcb at the first attempt, but the flickering readout and the missing green arrows made me take it out and do it again more thoroughly.

I couldn't detect any loose or bad connection by eye, so I don't know how many there were, or where, but the method certainly works.

Both the above fault codes deleted after re-fitting DIM and not recurring.
