My Peugeot 3008 is the gift that keeps on giving.

Recently it's been giving the error "Airbag or Seat belt pretensioner faulty" while driving. This is intermittent. So I can go the whole week driving 50 miles a day without a single issue, then sometimes I can be 10 minutes in to a drive and it'll start bleeping about it repeatedly for the rest of the journey. Sometimes the light on the dashboard will stay on for a good while, but most of the time it will stay on for a minute then go off, only to come back on a few seconds later.

There's no rhyme nor reason to what's causing it. I would suspect if the airbag or seatbelts were faulty the fault would be permanently on. But the fact this comes and goes makes me wonder that it's an electrical gremlin. If this is the case, what can I do or what should I be looking for?

Could it be the connector under the seat? I've had issues with it on various cars, a quick spray of electrical contact cleaner removed the light.
