Mercedes-Benz S500 airbag light stays on, potential wiring connector or weight-sensing mat issue requiring dealer diagnosis on Mercedes-Benz S500

Some Mercedes-Benz S500 owners report experiencing issues with the airbag light staying on, which may indicate various problems within the airbag system. These issues can stem from a faulty sensor that triggers the warning light, as well as electrical or wiring problems that could prevent airbags from deploying in a collision. Additionally, a malfunctioning seat belt pretensioner detected by the vehicle's computer may also cause the airbag light to illuminate. Some owners have encountered problems with the SRS computer, necessitating advanced testing of the electrical circuits and wiring for proper diagnosis. Due to the complexity of these systems, it is recommended that owners seek a qualified mechanic or dealer for a thorough inspection and resolution of the issue to ensure the safety of vehicle occupants.
