Default Noob needing Diagnostics help please!

Hello,

I love my car (mazda 6 sport 2.0 2003) but I've never been enough of an enthusiast to change my car from its factory stock build. However I have an airbag warning light on occasionally and I want to check the cars diagnostics.

I have the cable to connect the car to my laptop but the software it came with isn't compatable with my car.

Can anyone suggest some software that I can buy in order to run diagnostics?

Also my cigarette lighter has a loose connection I have pulled out the relevant panels to reconnect it but the plug is so big when I replace the panals it becomes loose again any ideas?

Many thanks in advance. I understand I'm a complete noobie to all this.

Take a pair of needle nose pliers and crimp the wire connector onto the cig lighter, its prolly just the connector being loose. For the SRS light does it blink or is it on steady? Sometimes the dealer is not a bad place to get it scanned, sometimes they are nice and just scan it quickly and tell you what it is.
