Astra van sportive - Dashboard air bag warning light - Toonatic
The airbag warning light is intermittently on , I would have thought if it was an actual bag fault it would stay on all the time . When I had a passenger in the van it was not lit then I had no passenger on a journey after about 10 miles it.illuminated. I have my suspicions it could be a poor connection under the passenger seat
I tried disconnecting the battery and removing the plug under the seat but it's very awkward and I could not get the plug to disconnect , after pushing the red connector I thought it should come apart .
Do I have to do anything else .
Any advice would be appreciated
Thanks
Eddie.

if you disconnect battery your fine, go ahead and check the wiring under seats,, very common to become partually disconnected, due to the seat being adjusted/ sliding back n forth. multi plugs can be an absolute b***** to come apart . try just pushing them together.. another place can be behind the airbag on the steering wheel but depending on your mechanical skills that might be a tall ask of you to remove and refit that... good luck!!
