This is another airbag light issue however I haven't been able to find a thread showing a similar situation to mine. The airbag light in my instance only comes on after driving and the amount of driving varies nearly every time. Turning the car off and on again results in no airbag warning light however after driving again it comes on. I've followed some of the instructions in other threads namely cleaning the connections under the seats and the pretensioners. I also secured the pretensionors with cable ties and the connections under the seats however the problem still occurs.

Has anyone experienced this before or has any ideas on how to fix it?

Thanks for the offer but I'm from Australia. I'm taking it into the shop today to get them to try and fix it. If they can't fix it I'll buy a diagnostics cable and look into soldering the airbag wires under the seat together as I suspect that is the problem.

Just got it from the shop, they say that its the passenger seatbelt squib causing the problem. They said that I the problem is either the reistance in the wires has built up and simply unplugging and plugging them together fixes it or a new squib is needed.

That is pretty much standard stuff, although normally caused by tension being put through the connector. Lots of people here have replaced their connectors with stronger ones or soldered them together. You could try putting a cable tie around the ends of the connector to hold it together to see if that works in the short term.
