Exclamation SRS Dashboard Light !!! HELP !!!!

Hello

I have a 2000 Discovery II with 99825 miles.

Yesterday on my way back home.
The SRS light came ON.
On my Dash board.

Can somebody tell me what that light means and what i need to do.
I dont have the money to send my car to a dealer.
so i hope someone can help me.

SRS=suplemental restrant, so with the light being on that is either a air bag or seatbelt fault.
No need to send the truck to the dealer everytime you have a problem, everybody who owns a LR thinks the dealer is the only person who can work on your truck, wrong.
Any mechanic worth his weight in skined knuckles can work on a LR.
Now, buckle and unbuckle your passenger side seatbelt a dozen times or so and see if the light goes out.
There are sesnors inside the seatbelt buckles and if they get dirty from lack of use they can set off the SRS warning light.

The next thing to try is unplugging the seat belt harness at the seatbelt tensioner.
unplug both the drivers and passenger sides and clean the contacts with electrical contact cleaner, let it dry and then put them back together.

If that doesn't work then go see a mechanic with a good scanner capiable of reading the SRS codes and find out what has failed.
Also, check your battery connections, make sure they are clean and tight, a low voltage issue can also throw on the SRS light.
