Default 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.

Has the carpet ever been wet?

Does the car have Sunroof?

Side impact Sensor is a common problem if the carpet has been wet at any stage and allowed it to corrode.





Probably not this but its worth considering.

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!

Cool

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 !
