Yes, there is a connector. The seat has an occupancy sensor. If the seat isn't occupied, then the airbag is de-activated.
Why have an occupancy sensor for the driver's seat, you may wonder ? Simply put, it's far easier to make the same seat with the same sensors for all models, left and right hand drive.
If you're going to have a look and see if the connector is loose, then please do this :
Disconnect the car battery. Wait 20 minutes. Then work on it.
The reason for this is that you don't want a 'jolt' of electricity going into the airbag sensors. The 20 minute wait allows current in capacitors to disperse.
Hope this has helped.
