Check the wire under the seats for the belt tensioners as they have a habit of getting a poor conection!

mine used to be on constantly, but i let a girl drive me car, (her first time and i gave her a lesson ;)) after she drove it quite aggressively lol the light went out and never came back.
I can hire her out if ya want? quick fix *ehem*
dissconnect the wires under your seats and reconnect them, i guess you could check the wires to the airbag ECU thing, though i aint got a clue about them :y:

might be tucked into the metal frame thing of your seats, if not maybe jus under your carpet as thats where they come out, or follow the selt belt pre tensioner thing, look for wires coming out of there.

Mine did this there is an ORANGE wire under the seat which goes into the seat belt pre-tensioner on mine the wire had broken & there was an open circuit on the pre-tensioner unit itself.
