I came across this as well online, and cleared the same light by cleaning the pair of plugs, by removing both plugs, and a spritz of non-lubricating contact cleaner. Cheapest and and most effective fix ever - and Alfa Romeo clearly are aware of this potential point of maintenance, and therefore made the flap visible on 147's and 156's (like mine) as a first troubleshooting step. My 156 cleared the light instantly on startup.
@@1jinkata Hi there - when you open the boot, it is on the right-hand-side, underneath a black pentagonal/square flap, held in place with a Phillips-head screw.
@@martinlagrange8821 Hi, I have tried to find this connector in my 1999 Alfa 156 1.8TS. No luck and very frustrating. In the rear boot, the carpeting near and around the back lights is all one piece. No panels, patches. Just the plastic cover for the back lights. I removed it, there is just the lights connector. Tried to look underneath the front driver seat, nothing. No wires. Where else should I look? My airbag light is on 🙄 Thanks.
@@radiocontrolled9181 Hi there - there is a carpet lining around the boot, - and it can be prized loose using nothing but fingers - its secured with a raised lip around the boot roof, and cover. the plugs are on the RHS (Driver's side for RHD / Passenger side for LHD). Yes, its one piece, but it is a removable piece - persevere ! I found it a bit frustrating at first but I can assure you that you can remove it with care. Caution ! Make sure the battery is disconnected before unplug/clean/replug, as you definitely do not want the airbags going off on you !
A quick comment that might help others. My 147 TS had a battery go weak over 3 months. It would read ok when the car was turned off, as soon as you put load on it, for example lights with the engine off, it fell to 12,0V. It would still start the car. The airbag light became intermittent with increasing frequency and duration. For 2 weeks it was permanently on. I don't have the equipment to read and reset codes. As soon as I put a good battery in it the light went off and stayed off (I just jinxed myself 😄) So before going poking around with fragile connectors and risking damage, check your battery.
Thanks for the tutorial! I have an Alfa Romeo 147 1.6TS 105 hp, and I had the error : 22-Curtain airbag squib (passenger), it was solved by going to the airbag wires in the trunk.
Ur the best brother u explained the best way while I was sitting in my Alfa watching ur videos cos I have same problem, wish you all the best brother ❤❤❤
Hello! Do you ever experienced promblem, with the passanger side airbag? Mine is starts flashing with the yellow pictogram. I tried to turn off the passanger airbag, but its the same, not glowing, its flashing .Can you give me a possible solution? Thx buddy :) (2001 156 2.4jtd)
Thanks for your video! I have subscribed to your channel. I cannot find the connector for the passenger curtain airbag supposedly located in the trunk of my Alfa GT. I have looked in the workshop manual and cannot find any information. Where can I find information? Thanks!
In your video to fix the issue in the 147 airbag light , do you need to disconnect the battery before you unplugged the rear connector. Is the drivers side curtain plug in the rear on the GT as well please.

I'm having the exact same problem, computer says the left side airbags, however I don't seem to have these yellow connectors behind the rear lights. It's a '04 phase 1 JTD... Any suggestions would be appreciated...
@@TheKnightAdventures Cannot find mine either. 1999 156 pre-facelift. Very frustrating. Looked under the front seat too. No wires. Did you find yours eventually?
@@arcgarage i delete it, but allways come back after start car and shut off, scan again and fault is there. I will buy new one, just ask because everything work, just fault on diagnostic
@@nenad-ludoski-francuz before you do that, make sure you check the rest of the components of the braking system. I had that fault pop up due to the faulty bulb before

Hi, does the battery need to disconnect when put out the airbag connector?
You should do it as a precaution, but it doesn't need to be...
Thank for the instructive video, does it work the sam way for Alfa 145 too ?
Yes it does, if it's due to the connector...

Thanks for your video! I have subscribed to your channel. I cannot find the connector for the passenger curtain airbag supposedly located in the trunk of my Alfa GT. I have looked in the workshop manual and cannot find any information. Where can I find information? Thanks!
Not sure, I have to check
i will try this one today, thanks man
Go for it...
In your video to fix the issue in the 147 airbag light , do you need to disconnect the battery before you unplugged the rear connector.
Is the drivers side curtain plug in the rear on the GT as well please.
You can do it as a precaution, pretty sure it is
In my case it wasnt in the rear but the cable was under the drivers seat. Fix worked tho!
Hi brother,I just checked mine I did not get that switch so need help cos the light still on n what number of fuse in the car
You won't solve it with fuse, you have to hook it up to diagnostic tool to see the code that will come up, regards
Hello arc what scanner can i buy to reset my air bag light on 2002 156 Alfa Romeo, thanks
If that's all you need to do take it to a mechanic and erase the light
Does anyone know or have the location of the side airbag connector on Alfa Romeo 166?
would this maybe also work on the Giulietta?
Not sure, but i will try
In my examole on both my 156 and GT the tester doesbt even recognize the airbag unit like its not even present
Could the same method be apellide to fix the seatbelt light? In mi car is always on
No, you would have to see what is going on
Can you suggest how to fix camber on front of 166.
Hi, I would have to inspect the car to see what is going on

Hey Arc, what about on GT? Where should I look for connector?
Not sure, didn't have any airbag issues on GT
Do you think that this would be solution for alfa 159 too?? If yes, do you know where the airbag connector is ? 🙂
Yes, but make sure you hook it up to diagnostic tool to get idea where to look
Works perfectly. Thanks
You're welcome, glad it helped
