C30 Electrics : SRS Urgent SIPS bag right front resistance too high

[Kiyonari]

Hi,

I have an SRS Urgent Service warning Volvo C30. My brother-in-law is a mechanic and thinks its the connections under the seat, which he stripped down, cleaned, put back together and reset the warning. It stays off for a while but always comes back, usually after movement of the seat.

Tolday I used DICE to scan and the fault code is "SRS-005B Side impact protection (SIPS) bag , right front resistance too high".
I tried wiggling the wires under the seat then cleared the codes using DICE and it stayed off. This was until I gently shook the wiring loom under the seat again and the fault code came back. Could it be there are other wires besides on that big black connector under the seat that may be being disturbed by me shaking the wiring loom, and it isn't the wires at the connector? Where would be best place to look?

TIA!

had this on my old a4... well known problem. requirwd a new connector to be fitted to get correct resistance. until I did this would stay off all summer, as soon as weather turnwd colder and wetter, boom. light came on.
