The problem is quite likely the

wires coming from the seat sensor instead of the sensor itself. If you play around with the wire bundle it will probably fix itself.....for free. They short out on the seat frame.

The cable passes through a sharp hole in the base of the seat...this cuts the wire. I didn't try to fix mine...there wasn't much room...but if you did some dismantling of the seat you could more than likely solder the broken wire.

I fitted an emulator...so the SRS is always active.

Reneault,
How did you fit an emulator? Could you give us some guidance? I would like to do this on my car. Thanks for any help.
