The Air Bag On light is on constantly.

Here we go.
I bought the Fiesta from a new door neighbour. Down her drive / 20 yards / up mine. Very next time I started it the "Air Bag On" light stayed on. Handbook states that both should illuminate for a short while as a test then both go out. This makes sense.
The only think I did, apart from drive a mighty 50 yards, was adjust the seat.
Local garage stated that "they are all like that" which to me is short hand for cannot be bothered. Looked a bit confused when I mentioned that the Owners Manual did not agree. Modern "mechanics" seem as much a real mechanic as a flat pack kitchen fitter is a skilled carpenter! The old gal's 89 and cannot remember if teh light was on or not!
So am I right in suspecting it should not be on all the time? Could I have disturbed a wire connection under the seat? Will I have to get a "fault code " cleared before it goes out even if the physical fault is corrected?
Why did I sell my old car???
