Turn the ignition on and off a few times, it may cycle off.

It’s clearly a loose connection then, have you tried wiggling the connector on the passenger side? If you made a good solder join on the drivers side seat you can eliminate that.

Thanks for reply’s I remember a post from the past that said solder joints can be a problem adding a resistance so I have cut them out and changed them for crimped barrel connectors and so far has seemed to work so hopefully it’s cured the problem,I will find out tomorrow when it goes back in for the mot!
