   Yeah my AIR BAG light is on too.
   It's just loose connections for the pre tensioners under the seats.
   
   Sometimes If I move them about the light goes off.

   Air bag ecu is located under the carpet in front of the centre console.

   if you simply disconnect the airbag wires under the seat you will not eliminate the problem, the light will continue to flash.
   
   if you want to fix it properly get it on a diagnostic machine, otherwise, take the clocks out and remove the bulb
