Bear in mind the connections can look and feel secure but there's a design fault which means that sometimes they still aren't connected properly. Some people have replaced the connectors with different ones to solve the issue, and some have even soldered the connections instead. Failing that... some have solved the issue by replacing the airbag ECU, but that's really an expensive last resort... as has been said, 99% of the time it's the connections.
