:shakehead:, luke there is a fault and unless you get it fixed and are unfortunally involved in a accident....doesn't really bear thinking about does it.

Thanks Luke, as long as I know it's working I should be fine. I'll just have to get it fixed before I decide to sell it![]()
It does not HAVE to be done by Fiat.
The wires under your chair would be for the side airbags that are mounted in the seats. The connectors that connect the seat to the body harness sometimes become loose or oxidated as suggested by Tony. Also the airbag lock on the passenger side is prone to misbehaving due to the same problems. Whatever you do you'll have to get it hooked up to a diagnostic machine to reset the airbag light, because even if you solve the problem it has to be reset with the machine before it will function properly again.
You could do this yourself. Just buy a 10euro VAG kkl-interface from China through ebay and download the free unidiag software. Perhaps I should write a how-to on this, because its really easy to do on a mk2. Then youll have to mod the cable which takes 5mins, hook it up to the car and your laptop on the other side... press connect ... read the error code. Then clean up the connectors on whichever side is not working properly, reconnect and clear the errorcodes.
Light goes out and will stay out if you did it right.
What do i solder and where am i soldering ? im an amateur at all this so needs to be in basic forms lol
You can not put a price on safety.
(clearly a dealer isn't going to start taking connectors to bits hence the recommended fitting of a new loom section).
