Hi when my airbag light comes on I push
All the wires back into connectors under
The passengers seat!! And it goes away!!
Could try that!!!

Have a look at the orange connectors under the front seats. Lots of info about them. Usually these are the cause of most airbag stuff. Lots of people clean them with switch cleaner but it comes back after a while but i cut mine out and soldered the wires back together. Never had a problem since and that was 8 years ago.

Cheers guys lights now out. Going to modify using round bullet connectors as keep damp and crap out with rubber sleeves.

As autodata is showing a common problem and to buy modified blocks from fiat.rather modify it myself I would solder but be easier using bullet connectors incase i need seats out for any reason
