Default Whats this Airbag Code Mean?

Address 15: Airbags Labels: None
Part No: 8D0 959 655 M
Component: Airbag 7 Audi 0502

This is what i got when i pulled the code using my buddy at work's vag-com
is this from the connector under the seat that i read about being loose, or is it something else?

Here's the giveaway:

32-10 - Resistance too High - Intermittent

That means the connection is open intermittently, which is indicative of a plug that has been pulled slightly apart (open) and then relaxed and regained continuity. 99% it's the under-seat connection. Zip-tie, reset light, and see if it's a fix - it should be.

Remember I talked to you about this cause my airbag light was on and I just pushed in the on the airbag plug under the passenger side and took it to my buddy at VW and it's ok now! Check those plugs
I was looking for this a while back, cause my light has been on for a while and the day after I fix mine I find info!
Thanks Devil for the Help!
