Default 2002 Mazada Protege 5 - flashing airbag light

I have an airbag light that flashes randomly. It seems that if I wiggle a connection under my front passenger seat, it stops, but eventually it starts again. Can anyone explain to me if I can tighten something, or twist some wire to make it stop for good? I'm not much with cars, but have sons that can help if I can get some guidance.
Thanks

honestly i would take it in cause the worst thing that could happen is that the wire might short and the air bag will deploy. then its pretty costly to have one of those replaced.

take it to dealer who knows what they 're doing. If.....while you are messing with those wires, the air bags deploy (do what air bags are intended to do) , you are going to have an expensive mess on your hands !!! Let the dealer take care of the annoying randomly flashing light .The what if in this case looks vvvery costly .
