When wiggling the middle of the 3 connectors under the passenger seat, I can get one of the values to switch between "too high" and ok (or so).

You're gonna notice that it only shows up when you have passenger's in the back seat, its a common code to come up on B5's. It usually happens when folks push their legs against the back seat or under it. There really isn't any fix for it.

I had this pop on me this weekend. Is there a fix so that I can clear the code/light?

vtraudt when you wiggle the wire will it not "stay" wiggled?

auditech79 when I noticed the light I didn't have any passengers at all. I did however dump the clutch a little hard.

The fault im talking about is temporary, the light should go off when the key is cycled. If your's stays lit all the time you have a faulty airbag.

Actually theres a fix for this what is going on is the wire is getting loose so what u do is, put a tie wrap around the airbag connector and than clear the codes and no more codes =]]

More likely, faulty wiring or connector.

Would this DIY work? My harness attaches to the seat not the floor.
