06 1.8 yellow Air bag light comes on all the time - JD69
Hi, recently bought a Focus 56 from auction.

When starting it after a couple of seconds a yellow air bag light symbol appears on the dashboard.

What does it mean, is the airbag system no longer activated?

How can it be fixed?
Is it a fuse and if so how do I replace it?
Is it loose wiring and if so how can I fix it?
Is it a problem with the ECU and if so how can that be fixed?

Many thanks,
Jason.

Yes, while the light is on, the airbags and belt pre-tensioners won't work.

Could be anything. Ideally you need the fault code(s) read out, but to start with, take a look under both front seats to see if the wires going to the seats are firmly connected.
