Can anyone help ?- A few months back, airbag warning light came on after sliding back the seat.

Local Alfa-bloke tracked it to electrical 'seat-connection' (sensor?) component located next to tunnel - and had light reset for 90 quid. (Car is a '00 GTV Twin Spark)

Now the thing has done it again much to my annoyance. Had a poke about to check connections and all appears normal.

Is there an easy way of resetting the light or am I going to have to bite the bullet again?

All help well received!

The only way to do it is to solder the two connecters together, and then reset the air bag light..
Where abouts are you, i am pretty sure i can reset alfa air bag lights with my diagnostic machine.

The "usual" fix from main stealers is to zip-tie the connector block together!

How very true! Hence very keen to avoid the experience again.

Numbnuts, if you are anywhere near M1 / M25 junction can (and will) travel.. where you?
