After beeing without a Jaguar for a few years, witch have feelt like an eternity, i slipped up and bought myself an 2003 XK Convertible. Its an 100% corrosion free Florida import. In its previous life in Sweden it has mostly been sitting for what i beleive is warious reasons..

Anyway, im no stranger to hard core troubleshooting and have been working my way through the electrical system, but i seem to fail to understand why i still are experiencing issues with my passenger airbag light.
When ignition on, the airbagsystem does its check and both lights go out, then the passenger airbag light comes on. If i then put myself in the passenger seat it goes out.. witch at first seems to be ok.. sort of.. i mean, no one in the seat ->airbag of.. right? But.. it also feels like with all this fancy sensors and detectors, the passenger airbag light should not come on when no one is present at passenger side..
When i started troubleshooting i had the code 17 on the instrument cluster and the passenger airbag light.
I do not have the correct year of the drivers manual so i have not been able to check the real meaning of the passenger airbag light.

Someone with any ideas?
