MG4
Hi

For the last week nearly every time my MG4 is driving I get constant email/text messages telling me the front passenger airbag has been deployed. Yesterday I got 120 messages in a 1hr interval.

The garage I got the car from has been as helpful as ever (e.g. No help whatsoever).
I read on the forum someone mentioned checking the cabling under the seat but I dont really know what wires I should be checking and I am concerned the airbag is going to deploy on me. I have attached a photo of the cabling under the seat if anyone can see any issues or advise what else I could do?

Thanks

Could be a loose connection or a faulty airbag module. You won't cause any harm by looking for connectors that are not firmly clipped together under the seats.

But because it is saying the air bag has deployed (and it clearly hasn't) that suggests to me there's a fault in the airbag module. A few people have had this exact same problem.

Really needs diagnostics from an MG garage. It isn't clear if you got it from MG but if so, find another MG dealer that is more helpful and take it there for diagnosis.
