My car hasn't experienced this phenomena previously, in my <2 months of ownership, however after a journey with my adult (27) granddaughter in the nearside rear passenger seat, I found when I restarted the car, the airbag warning light did not extinguish. Having read previous posts in this thread I investigated the wiring beneath the front nearside seat, and while I could see no obvious break or disconnection, I pressed the connectors, gave the wires a wiggle, and Hey Presto! No Airbag Light on restart.
The granddaughter is going to have to keep her feet from under the seats in future!
