It will reset itself during your next journey.

This airbag light fault is common on those super-reliable (

) German cars. I think it's a connector problem under the driver's seat.

Using any LEDs? They don't draw enough current to be recognised as working.

I thought it was under the passenger seat?

Might explain why I haven't been able to reconnect it!

bulb failure light could illuminate if your number plate lights are not working,the copper circuits brekdown.

if the airbag light is illuminated,remove the fuse for 20 minutes,it will reset the module.

Thought the passenger seat was the common one to disconnect? Its the only one i've been told to look under.

That gives a 50% chance of success. The driver's seat gives you another 50%.
The passenger seat is subject to more shuffling around so tends to be favourite.
