    Not a big issue, usually connectors under one of the front seats. Good luck!

    I counted them in and I counted them out (with apologies to Brian Hanrahan) - 005, 007, 019, 051, 103, 288, 354, 455, 577, 700 - the story continues.

    The connections under the seat are the usual suspects. My car suffers from the same but a little wiggle will clear the warning light normally. I have read that the bag will not deploy if the light is illuminated but I have read other wise also. The fix is to reconnect the under seat wiring with new terminal via block or male female connection and bin the original. If you wish to do this make sure the car has been switched of for a number of minutes to allow the electrics to discharge.

    I will at some time get round to this but wiggling seems to work for me so far.

    Mine was just down to chaffing in the wires where they double back on themselves rather than the connectors. Bit of insulation tape and it's been fine and dandy for the past 8 months since I did it!
