Airbag light staying on

Hi all. Normally the light goes off after ignition is switched on. Now stays on. Any ideas? Probably a faulty wire....

Sorry I am referring to the red airbag warning light in the dashboard - it used to go off after ignition is on. Now stays on constantly...

Can you take a pic to show me - many thanks?

Middle of the seat, both sides, (passenger and driver) there is a multiplug that connects seat to car. Stray rear seat feet can dislodge it. Sorry no pix to hand but if you look from the rear ie open back doors and look forward you can't miss them. Give them a good wiggle. Remote but possible

Hard-wiring pre-tensioner blocks was always a manufacturer “fix” in years gone by.

Could be the passenger seat occupancy sensor - there was a recall for these in the States: https://www.torquenews.com/3769/porsche ... ds-sensors
