Airbag light fix HELP
recently purchased an 07 bas coupe and while driving home the airbag lite came on. I adjusted the seat several times before driving so assumed the connector may have loosened. I removed the seat and disconnected, ,used dielectric grease and put back together using wire ties. Started car back up and lite still on. I checked 10amp fuse and it was good. Actually put a 15 in to check and still on. I pulled the fuse completely and lite stayed on????? Any ideas what to try next or is this like the check engine light where you have to drive a bit to turn off? Thanks for any advice

Requires a GM airbag-aware scan tool such as a Tech 2 or a better-than-generic 3rd party scanner.

You should not use dielectric grease especially on the airbag system…this grease is an INSULATOR and the SRS wiring has a VERY low resistance !!…scan for codes first if you can !!

There is a service bulletin on the problem. But it has a repair period and I think you are over it in time. Had my 11 in and was told it involved 2 harnesses and wiring fitting up higher into seat bottom.

The GM repair is basically they cut the connector out of the system and solder the wires together to make a hard connection. Which works great until the day you want to remove one of your seats for any number of reasons.
