Airbag light on...

[Theflash95]

Hey everyone my airbag warning light is on. When I press the brake all the warning lights clear, but the airbag light goes out and then comes back on. I recently vaccuumed my car and I think with moving the seat back and forth to its extreme positions (all the way forward/back) something may have come loose. There are a lot of connectors under the seat, so I’m not sure which ones to check. I do see a loose gray connector with white tape on the end of it, but I don’t see a place where it would have plugged in... maybe that’s one of those extra plugs for future/old accessories? Or maybe that’s my problem.

Anyone have any ideas?

I see a disconnected grey connector.

The yellow one is definitely airbag.

Start looking for where to plug it back in.

Yeah, like I said that gray connector (with the white tape around the end of it) is loose... it does not have much slack and I don't see anything nearby (although it's difficult to see) where it would connect. If anyone can look under their seat and tell me if that thing goes up/down/left/right it would be helpful to try and find where it goes.

So I looked under my seat and it seems like that gray connector is loose too.. it's very difficult to see anything there so I took some pictures:

Thanks talels for the pics... so that looks like a "bonus" connector after all. I'll try re-seating the ones that are currently connected and see if that makes a difference.

Sooo... had a passenger in the car today and what do you know the damn light went out and stayed out. Maybe when they sat down whatever was loose got pushed back into place... who knows. Either way I’m not going to worry about it.

I had the airbag alert and tried sitting in the passenger seat. It went away. Thank you for the tip.

I have the same problem. The red airbag warning light goes out when I have a passenger but when the front seat is empty it comes back on. Any ideas?

This is an old post, but I will provide an update. I took it into the SC and initially they said it was the wiring harness. After replacing that it didn’t fix the issue and they eventually replaced my entire passenger seat which ultimately fixed my issue. Been good to go since they fixed it.
