Airbag light doesn't go out

The lights been on ever since I\'ve had the car. I replaced the airbag because the plastic on the original was starting to crack but the lights still on! Any ideas on fixing it without removing the bulb?

have to get it reset by vauxhall dont you? could try leaving the negi lead off the battery for half hour or so, giving the ecu a chance to reset itself but i suspect it will come back on

my m8 bought a brand new punto a couple years back, and i think his airbag light was on for ages. Cant remember if it was ever fixed? If it has been, i\'ll see what his problem was?
