Video tutorial

This video shows one possible reason why the airbag light comes on in the Fiat 500. The video features a 2014 model, but this fault can occur in any production year. The issue is the position sensor located under the driver's seat, and you can see two broken wires.

Simply pull them out and replace or splice them to restore the electrical contact. This fault can easily occur, as the sensor is in an area where the seat undergoes constant movement, making a broken wire a common issue.

Fortunately, it is also easy to fix.
