Default Drivers side airbag tensioner igniter switch and connector location. I STFA and did not see

Alas my son's airbag light came on with error code indicating igniter switch. The light could not be reset. I've STFA and lots of talk about cleaning connectors etc... Well I looked under the seat and there's many connectors there. Where is the connector I need to clean actually located? I found BD's schematic (link below) so I can see electrically what's going on. There was also some talk of a fuse, which one and where?

Thanks very much. I hope to head off a few hundred out of pocket.<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/a6/msgs/766214.phtml">https://forums.audiworld.com/a6/msgs/766214.phtml</a</li></ul>

Airbag connectors are almost always yellow

Default Thanks, Found it but could not get it to release.

I'll make sure that Damon at German Autosport tries cleaning it first before replacing the igniter.
