Mini Paceman Passenger Seatbelt Light - 520i

Morning all

Have a phantom passenger seatbelt warning light issue with a Mini Paceman. Advised it began following a valet, presumably from the usual 'on street' type outift. I haven't looked yet, but I assume they've knocked a plug under the seat, anybody had cause to look under there and reconnect one? I'm hoping it'll be a simple 'plug it back in' affair!

First, STOP.

Yes, it's most likely a knocked connector. However, if you happened to reconnect with the battery live, you could set off the airbag.

So open the doors, disconnect the battery, and wait 20 minutes. Then try the connector plug. Once finished, reconnect the battery
