Lucky to get a pass with an airbag light showing. Normally an automatic fail

As above I did have to replace the passenger side harness as it was trigerring an airbag light. Had not touched that area for months, but fitted cleared and it never returned. Message sounds like something disconnected or harness faulty, check the door to wing connector is secure

Open the door and you'll see the convoluted tube. It has a connector at one end. From memory a couplr of torx hold it in
Harness is obviously on the inside of the door. Run to the airbag as well as all other electricals. Check the connections, although nothing will turn off the light without a reset
