You haven't got damp in the driver's carpet by any chance?
An SRS fault should need a full Faultmate or main dealer to clear.
However
You might want to try disconnecting and re-connecting your battery (do a search to do it properly) and check the yellow connector under the driver's seat and maybe the rotary coupler behind the steering wheel.

CAREFUL - the yellow wiring / connectors are the airbag links. You don't want one of them going off in your face and many Rangies have them built into the seats. Disconnect your battery (get the procedure right) then go away and have a cuppa before you start messing with airbag wiring.
You might be able to see if by pushing the seat all the way back and using a torch. If there's one under the driver there'll be another under the passenger.
Damp would cause all of your problems. In the BECM it would turn your wipers on and might corrode the airbag connector.
I mentioned the rotary coupler because it has both wiper and airbag wiring running through it
If you can't find anything inside have a look, and a smell, at your under bonnet fusebox.

Has to be 99 on to have SRS wires under seats.

Plug behind instruments sometimes falls out if it's not been put in properly. And there are two bulbs for SRS warning. If one blows the other will stay on until blown one is replaced.

Passengers air bag should be connected behind glovebox. Mine was disconnected by previous owner.

Low battery can trigger the SRS fault, needs a reset with Faultmate, Nanocom etc. I wouldn't waste time pulling things apart.

Buy yourself a Nanocom, it will pay for itself in no time or ask if there is anyone nearby who can help.

Apart from the engine ECU, as far as I'm aware, your Nanocom will work on any P38 on all other systems.

Never tried it on another P38 so it will be great if it does.
