Air bag fault - 01222 help

[struds]

Vag Com has picked up a fault on my airbag - i knew it was there as the light was on...

so having used vag com i have this:

"1 fault found:
01222 - crash sensor side airbag (G180)

29-30 - short to ground - intermittent"


....................

so.... short to ground i thought would be under the seat as the wires looked to be touching and the sheath moved down a bit... so i taped these up reset the code... but the light came back after a week or so...

Any other ideas?

Where is the crash sensor for the side airbag??? - is it the door panel? or in the seat?

any help much appreciated!!!!!!

Its under the carpet bolted to the floor on the front of the crossmember that the front of the seat mounts to kinda area.
