Top right. Im blind clearly. I try again the sudden stop.

I need to figure out how to sort out the passenger light as well. It came up when the previous owner was cleaning the car so I assume sensor

Most times the airbag light coming on, relating to the passenger side is because someone has moved the passenger seat and the wiring is old and fragile and loses its connection even momentarily and that will put on the airbag light.

It could just be a matter of disconnecting it under the seat, cleaning the connections and reconnecting it again. Anything airbag related, do so with the keys out of the car entirely so as not to trigger the circuit test (not that it matters much in your case as the light is on anyway wobble)

Once the light is on it has to be "reset", ie, its not like an engine sensor whereby if its replaced the engine management light goes out.

Only certain code readers will reset airbag lights and it'll likely be a car specific one. If you do a bit of checking around you might find a vauxhall one will work or there could be a Saab one that people use, or your local indy may be able to do it.
