Default 2006 stype sport 3.0 w/nav revisiting drivers side airbag light...AGAIN

Good afternoon everyone! Ok - so last year - I had this issue - shook a bunch of cables under the seat and steering wheel - bingo gone.
NOW ITS BACK!
shook the same wires - nothing.......
comes on after about 4 min of driving.....everytime I start my car....driving me crazy...
I tried to find that yellow wire everyone talks about....seems like its with a bunch of other wires under there....so I shook those around as well....its a small group of wires correct?
Anyway....anything I can do to make this NIGHTMARE GO AWAY once and for all!!!!
Thank you

What is the code?? The yellow wire needs to be found and most likely repaired. It gets pulled apart by moving the power seat back and forth. The memory seat means that the seat gets a lot of movement over it's lifetime.

You should really plan on removing the drivers side seat completely and unplug all the connections and then inspect carefully.

You just got lucky shaking wires! That does not repair anything.

Hi there, sounds like the same princple on my sons Clio, had exactly the same issue, caused by problems with the wiring.

Any auto sparky should be able to fix relatively quickly and cheaply.
I'd guess its just the wiring to the connector as we had. We simply made a direct connection and no more issue.

As stated, it may be that the wiring is too short and with the seat going back n forth causing it to come loose, hence the intermittent fault.
