Dreaded airbag failure light!

[MylesD55]

My 2002 996 had a airbag failure light recently.  It turned out to be the passenger side seat belt receptacle.  Several rennlist threads pointed me to the problem and suggested cleaning it, however, I replaced it with a used one.  The warning light has remained off since replacement.  There was also mention of a bad wire loom under the seat. 

You can't reset the light with a standard OB2 code reader, you need the Durametric software to reset it.  Although not tested...I read that the airbags still function despite the light.
