Air bag light
Jules cut-off mine and replaced with aerospace connectors as a matching pair. never had a re-occurence! The issue is one of corrosion and it does not require dampness for it to occur, it is caused by a slight difference in electro-potential as the connector on the seat may be from a different supplier to the connects of the loom, hence a difference in metallurgy. This issue is not uncommon on many makes of cars.

If working on the underseat connectors doesn't cure it I would always suggest a T4, avoids all the frustration and potential expense of trying to find the cause yourself. Mine turned out to be a defective driver's seat belt pretensioner, nothing to do with the wiring, I doubt I would ever have found that out myself!

I had to change the pre-tensioner, the part the belt clips into by the handbrake. That cured the light on. Done all the bits under the seat as well.

That was the issue with mine , but it doesn't necessarily have to be wet or corroded . Mine was bone dry and clean , but duff !
