The converter box under driver's seat got wet, since then converter doesn't work and airbag light is on. Is there any wiring for the airbag in the converter box? If not, where under the seat is the wiring for the airbag?

Air bag wiring is always yellow!The boxes that were under my drivers seat were the OnStar box and the 115v outlet inverter.

You don't tell us what year you are running. I'll tell you what the 07 units have.First, the airbag module is in the center console.Under the Drivers seat is the A/C D/C converter box.also the Yaw Rate Sensor is under the drivers seat. What's a Yaw Rate Sensor? It is part of the Antilock Brake / Stability control System. Here's a Wikipedia definition, such as they often are..... "A yaw rate sensor is a gyroscopic device that measures a vehicle’s angular velocity around its vertical axis. The output is usually in degrees per second or radians per second. The angle between the vehicle's heading and vehicle actual movement direction is called slip angle, which is related to the yaw rate. The measurement is based on the Coriolis effect."Under the Passenger Seat is the Amplifier for your stereo, if so equipped.A note of interest, the Seat belt and the sensors for side impact are at the lower "B" pillar points ("B" Pillar = latch pillar for front door, hinge pillar for rear doors). The path of the wires to these devices is under the seat, most likely under the carpet, it is highly probable that there are wire connections under the carpet which may have gotten wet.There is a high likely hood that being wet would turn on a warning light for you've messed with the flow of electricity with water.Dave
