I need to get this sorted, i tried the contact cleaner stuff today and it didnt work! Dont know what to do now

Yeah I have this issue. I tried contact cleaner but don't think that's the issue. If I stand outside the car and turn it on (no one sat down) the light is on anyway --> not an occupancy sensor issue if there's no one sat in there?

Thinking about actually pulling (or pushing) the wires out of the orange plugs, cleaning, then shoving the things back in! Just blasting them doesn't want to work.

Reading the airbag fault codes will tell you where to look and what to clean.

Its not always the under seat contacts that fail.

dweben, that's what I done, but I also closed the contacts (seat end) which made it a tighter fit but also a better connection!

Fiat should be ashamed regarding this
Surely with so many of us having problems they should help

good luck in convincing GM of that one

just chop all the orange connectors out n rejoin with wire connectors, n solder together,
Make sure the batt disconnected.
1 under each seat
1 above each rear shock in boot
1 in behind panel in roof of glove box

Where is the one in the glove box,can only find a big yellow one

Right I have done 4 of them,can only find a yellow connector above Glove box.
Still BLEEP BLEEP BLOODY BEEP

There is only a yellow connector above the glovebox.

Of course, you could have an actual airbag or sensor fault. In which case, no amount of chopping connectors is going to cure it.

that's what I had, actual seat fault, changing the seat fixed it

I left the batt cover off and bonnet open and yeap it chucked down
Now the bloody fuel pump fuse keeps blowing as the water must of got into the fuse box
Please reassure me it only need drying out

There's a lot of thin metal strip in side the fuse box, they connect everything together. Dry it out quickly before the strips start to corrode and cause serious problems.

Got it drying out in the airing cupboard
Thats why I never play with cars as always cause more problems than fix

roof of the lower glove boxsmall panel approx 4 ich back in middle, if ya decide to swap this one its easier to take out the glove box makes acessing wires easier
