I know its a common problem, but am still trying to sort it....
Have re-done the connections under the seats, still happening.
cannot find any breaks in the wires...
Could it be the sensors? Or the actual airbag?
not had this before, so hoping someone has experienced this?

When you say flickering, do you mean sometimes it on and sometimes not or its actually a flickering light? Generally the airbag ecu will only do a system check on start up so anything that happens in that time will only show up after the car is turned off and on again. If the light is flickering, id suggest you have a earth back feeding somewhere or another issue with the wiring to the light.

My airbag light does this too... Only mines flickering constantly. Have taken the car to the garage and they weren't sure what was wrong with it. They want the car back again to have another look. Will let you know what it is when they find out

I know you've said you've done them, but the connections under the seat, they were faulty on mine.
Even cleaning the contacts and clicking them in hard the light would still come on, a guy here has a picture where he has 'tightened' the connection inside by bending the metal in on itself with a pin, I did that and now mine are fine. Perhaos look at those under seat connections again?
