The Air Bag warning light comes on when I hit a big bump or pot hole. To me it sounds like a loose connection somewhere. Years ago while the car was under warranty they fix a similar problem by checking all plugs and fuses because the light wouldn't go off after a while. The man behind the desk at the Stealership said they near found the problem but once they put everything back together under the console the problem was gone.
This time it's not quite the same as I can stop and turn the car off then do a restart and the warning light disappears until the next bump. But now it seems to happen more frequently and with smaller bumps.
Any ideas where to start looking for loose connections?

I had a similar problem .Had stuff under the drivers seat ie small shovel and pick,when seat was adjusted it lowered onto the connecting plug attached under the seat crushing it.Ozjeepster in Coffs found the problem.
I have had that issue three times so far, clarkys fix worked twice.
I was getting the code saying to look at the front seat 1st row seat pretensions.
The last time I unbolted the front seats, tested the seat belt pretensioners
see:
Then checked the wiring from the pretensioner plug to the control module under the centre console.
Cleared the code and the airbag light has been off since.
I'll have a look at the fuse box under the bonnet and check under the seat too. I've never stored gear under there so that's not the issue.
Also I've never had any codes pop up either that's why I don'y know where to start.
Thanks, I'll keep you posted.

I had the same airbag light a while ago, standard OBD just showed a generic "airbag system" code, where-as Auto Enginuity was able to get the full code.
Disassembling, cleaning and "tightening" the yellow pre-tensioner connector under each seat fixed it for me.
I've never stored anything under the seats either. The pins in the connectors might just be prone to coming loose over time. The resistance tolerance for pre-tensioners is quite narrow (in the SRS standards I mean.).

After viewing the video I was going to ask if there were any additional Seat belt connectors behind the lower plastic side panels that hide the pre-tensioners but if it's all under the seat I'll just check and clean these.
