Electrical fault appears weeks after collision repairs

A delayed fault deserves the collision repair history even if the car initially behaved normally. The timing does not prove a link, but previous disturbance may be relevant to the assessment.

How to approach the assessment

Describe the new symptom and provide the repair-area and parts records. Avoid telling the assessor only which module you suspect. The workshop can consider the current evidence together with the earlier work without assuming every later fault resulted from the accident.

Useful details to send

  • New symptom onset.
  • Repair location and replaced parts.
  • Any intervening water exposure or further work.

Arrange the right assessment

This guide does not establish that a vehicle is safe to use. Restraint repairs need qualified assessment and the correct manufacturer instructions. A module service does not replace required component repairs or vehicle-level verification.

Ask AXION about your repair or read our SRS module assessment information. Workshop visits are by appointment in Didcot. Confirm suitability before posting any removed module.
