   I hear that if you remove the drivers seats there is a sensor underneath which causes it to stay on by removing the seats the sensor is no longer wired up. Dont quote me on this but im sure i read it somewhere

   take the bulb out of the dials or you could just take out the whole air bag wireing

   There is a orange wire with connector under the seat,take a 2ohm or if you cant find it use 1.8ohm or 2.2ohm resistor and push the resistor legs into these holes on connector i used 2.2ohm and it worked just fine

   The resistor is the correct way to do it.
   
   Either solder the wires together with the 2ohm resistor inbetween, or take the led out of the dials.

   The resistor method is the best/safest way.
   
   I however just unplugged my airbag ecu, took two mins and the light went straight out.
   
   This obviously means the airbag won't deploy but lets be honest most saxo airbags don't deploy anyway and even if they do the likelyhood is if you have crashed a saxo bad enough for the airbag to deploy you are probably already dead in a crumpled heap which once was your saxo.
   
   My advice get some good quality harnesses and a cage
