Nissan NV airbag warning lamp

Hey, my 2018 Nissan NV with a gasoline engine is throwing me for a loop. The airbag warning lamp is constantly lit on the speedometer. I'm suspecting a dodgy cable or plug connection somewhere in the system. Anyone else experienced this automotive safety gremlin?

Whoa, that's scary! I had something similar happen in my Nissan NV, though I can't remember the exact year. The SRS light was on, and I was freaking out about airbag deployment issues. Did you check the airbag sensor connections under the seats? That was the culprit for me.

Thanks for the quick response! Under the seats, you say? Was it visibly loose, or did you have to do some probing with a multimeter to find the bad connection? Just trying to figure out if I can tackle this myself before I throw money at it.

Nah, nothing fancy. It was visibly loose – kinda like when a phone charger isn't fully plugged in. I pushed it back in firmly, and the light went off. But honestly, with airbags being so crucial, I'd suggest getting it checked by a workshop. My fix was temporary; the light came back on a week later, and they found a faulty connector. Cost me 95€ to get sorted properly.

Appreciate the insight and the heads-up! Sounds like a visual inspection is the first step, but a workshop visit is definitely in order. I'll get it checked out soon. The workshop identified a defective plug connection as the root cause and repaired it for 95€.
