Default SRS fault code help

Hi all, attempted to reset the SRS light, but looks like I'll need to fix the fault codes first.
Tried disconnecting the battery, then the connectors under the seats and sprayed with contact cleaner.
Not sure what steps to take next. Any ideas?

May help if you tell us what car you have, year, model etc...
SRS codes may have to be cleared using Volvo scan tool, disconnecting any part of the srs system without first disconnecting the battery will throw a fault code

The attached image has all the car info and fault codes.
Also said in my first post I disconnected the battery.

I'm looking for advice on finding the cause of the error before I start replacing random parts, has anyone had experience using airbag simulators or know what resistor I can use?

Try resetting the codes.
If that fails and your not fussed if the Srs system works,just wire the srs light to the oil pressure light and viola the light comes on and off as it should for test purposes.

Glad to be of assistance. In general this is an old fart forum with "what happens if your insurance company finds out" and "that's illegal brigade" etc etc.
It's an old car and sometimes one needs to find creative solutions to problems for various reasons.
Good luck with it whichever way you choose to proceed.

what happens if you kill yourself or your innocent passenger when their life could have been saved if it wasn't for your foolishness ? It's on YOUR conscious for the rest of your life if you don't end up in jail ...

Each to their own.It's up to the Op to decide.
End up in jail this is just the typical type of comment you expect on here.
Along with that's illegal,blocked Pcv and require Vida for dynamic timing.. Bosch have a good laugh at that one😂
Thanks for the reinforcement of the forum sterotype though.
Cheers
