Xantia_V6 thank you, I didn't think of that. GiveMeABreak if I miss it, well, makes no difference, whenever i reconnect the battery ... kaboom
Whatever the solution is, even if I have to go to the repair shop to do it for me, I will let You know what the solution was.
I heard many guys having an issue with that particular connector malfunctioning, ending up simply bypassing it by connecting the wires directly. If I've only looked before I took out the seat ...
Side airbag light won't go away

Re: Side airbag light won't go away
Today I first called Citroen repair shop and they've sent me to car electric repair shop. So I've asked them if they could fix the problem for me, once they've heard that the wires are all different color (seat side/floor side) they've said they can't, so I called the car electronics specialist and they've said that they have to use diagnostic tool in order to figure out what to do.
Tomorrow I'm going there, I just hope that they won't flay me. If they try to, I'll just connect the wires from the floor side using resistor and live without side airbag

Re: Side airbag light won't go away
This morning I went to electronic repair shop and they’ve fixed the problem for me for around 10£. They did the same thing the previos guy did, connected the wires directly, only they’ve soldered them unlike the previous guy. I would prefer if they have puted a connector instead, but the problem is fixed and that’s all that matters. Here is wires connection order:
I’ve had to peal a lot of tape in order to see this
So if anyone ever needs this, it’s here. BUT this is only for my type of car ONLY LEFT SIDED STEERING WHEEL, DRIVER SEAT, I don’t know if this is the right pairing for other types.
So yellow-green pairs with yellow green, orange pairs with blue and yellow pairs with brown.I’ve had to peal a lot of tape in order to see this

Re: Side airbag light won't go away
Just wait till someone adjusts the seat & it will come back on, the only long term solution is to cut out the connections & solder the wires together.

Re: Side airbag light won't go away
I hope not, failed MOT on front rear P bushes both sides, so airbag light seems to be under control, had ti lie down in rear foot wells and get at passenger seat wiring, the drivers was from front i was half in half out with a head torch on for that side but all cables have already been soldered so just a quick clean up with air and few clicks of the cleaner.
Chap from liverpools coming over on weekend to look it over and hopefully drive back home in.
