I hope I have posted this in the correct forum, I apologize if not.

Anyway the airbag warning lamp has lit up in my car. I have put it out twice, after the first time it was off for a week, after the second time, it went on immediately after starting the car :( so something is definetly wrong here.

I connected a test instrument and the indication from the car was that the sensor in one of the seats didn't report if anyone was sitting in the seat or not.

My question, is it possbile to find out in which seat the sensor doesn't work? I anyway have to take the driver seat out which I have asked about in another thread (thanks to those who helped me out there), but I don't want to mess with these sensors if there is nothing wrong with it.

Hope you understand my question, it is quite difficult to put my question in enlglish unfortunately.

Likely to be the passenger seat occupancy sensor or just a dirty bad connection to it under the seat. What are you using to read and reset the warning light. If you are using a B800 Airbag Code reader it should show the code for the occupancy sensor. Best course of action is to clean the connections under the seat and ensure they are undamaged and secure, wiring can be damaged if loose and seat is moved. Do not switch the car on with any of the wires disconnected it will set further codes and light the warning light up. Once all connected clear the codes and see if that has sorted it.
