Unhappy What makes the airbag warning light come on ?

Airbag warning light came on continuously after starting up today.

Don't know if this is a co-incidence but.....
could this be related to me changing all the headlight bulbs last night ?
Attempted to remove the headlamp unit (remove knurled **** and released the catch) but could not manage to remove units from the car, so changed lamps in situ.

Don't know if I managed to dislodge a sensor at the front of the car or something.

Any thoughts ?

If it's one of the earlier cars there was a problem with the connectors under the seats - Moving the seats will often cause the problem.

A fix has been released and can be performed by your dealer.

Thanks for the info Stu.

Looks like a (first) visit to my local dealer is called for.
I some how thought the car might last longer than a week before breaking on me
