Hi all,

Have just purchased a 2002 ZT 2.5 auto with the airbag light on. On all the 75s my dad had, it was just a matter of jiggling the cables under the seat, but this hasn't fixed the issue (especially as the connectors on both sides have been cut off and soldered). I firstly tried WAGO connectors, but that didn't help either -- does mean I can lift the seat out now if I need to.

I ordered a TOAF cable and pulled the codes today; as you can see in the image it's complaining about the right hand impact sensor. Googling around, it seems that this can be caused by a sunroof leak, and sure enough the carpet under the drivers' seat is damp.

Does it sound reasonable that the two issues are related? I'm going to permanently seal the sunroof with some silicone, I think.

I feel like it's probably a case of needing a new impact sensor, but I can't seem to find one for 2002 models. Any idea where I should start looking?
