check fuses first, then i dunno, i would take it to a sparkie cause you dotn want to mess aroudn with airbags do you:)
it can be just a loose wire or faulty sensor

usually that indicates the sensor.

sparkie is the best bet, you don't want that damn bag taking your head off

pulling the fuse it might reset it?im not sure, electrical isnt my type of thing:)
just take it to the shop bro, it shouldnt be too expensive, and if its just a faulty sensor, it wont cost u an arm and a leg

mazda in Oz has no right to re-print manuals (ie you can't actually buy one through the dealer DUMBSH!TS) but they are sold through this mob and here are HD/HE stuff they have:

http://www.pitstop.net.au/view/marques- ... /plu/2857/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false
http://www.pitstop.net.au/view/marques- ... plu/12735/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false
http://www.pitstop.net.au/view/marques- ... plu/12734/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false

http://www.pitstop.net.au/view/marques- ... plu/12730/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false

here is mazda stuff they have:
