Airbag seat wiring

[dekmar]

I have the dreaded airbag/seatbelt light on.Can anyone tell me what the seats have to do with the airbags. Is there a bum on seat switch which enables the airbag circuit? Is the yellow plug just the connector for such a switch. ? Help please--mot due.

On first opening the "The Technical Help Forum", on the top right hand side there is drop down box "search this forum"
Enter the term "airbag light" and you'll find plenty of info there.

The problem you find is that moving the seat disturbs what is a dodgy connection. I tend to use a contact cleaner but a number of members hard wire the cables together
Does not matter if there is a bum on seat or not

Or use the forum's "enhanced by Google " search bar just under where it says User CP

Because the seats have airbags in them Just unplug and reconnect a few times the plugs and spray with contact cleaner
