Hello!

I have a 2002 MK4 Ford Fiesta 1.6 Ghia and am trying to get it through its next MOT. Recently on a very cold morning, I started the engine and the airbag warning light came up on the dashboard. It has been on ever since, and I have tried unplugging and reconnecting the yellow connectors found under the driver's and passenger seat, but this has not changed anything.
