Air bag warning light flashes permanently
It is a regular flash
I believe that cleaning the contacts in the yellow connector under the drivers seat may cure this, is this true? Actually there are two yellow connectors under the seat, which one is it? The most accessible one (ie the one nearest the front of the car) has two wires in and 2 out, the other one looks as if there are more than 2

{year correct from '19' to '1997' - info found via a forum search}

Usually the pretensioner under the seat, the light should flash 4 times, then rest for a bit, then flash 4 times again to indicate a problem with the pretensioner. Had this problem on my Mondeo, I unplugged the connector, then plugged it back in and that sorted the flashing light.
