Crimped or soldered? If they are crimped, solder them. Also, sure neither of the pretensioners have gone off? You can tell by the plastic on the steel cable on the seat belt plug will be all crumpled up.

there conected with block conectors i carnt solder lol both bars are straight as far as i can see if i was to try and solder them would this solve the problem? i have no way to turn the passenger airbag off so carnt be that it just started flashing when i was sat in a car park and started the car up and not gone off since!

there are two sets of plugs that need joining
one set under the seats and one set closer to the airbag controller
both sets play up

Did you put them in connector blocks? Double check that you haven't trapped the sleeving in the connectors and rejoin if so.
Then reset the Immobiliser by disconnecting the battery for 10 - 15 mins (i think?? Someone correct me if wrong).

After that i do believe it should be fine, if you have terminated the connections correctly.

nopicture but the seat cables enter the carpet under the seat and travel forward towards the airbag ecu in front of the gearstick
you will have to remove the front lower cosol to find the airbag ece wher you will find the second set of orange plugs
