Airbag Light

Can anyone give me any advice on what I should do to fix this airbag light that came on after I had removed the passenger side seat to find my friends ear ring that fell deep under the seat. Could I have triggered the light by removing the seat, before I did, I made sure to disconnect the battery. The car is a 2000 Boxster.

Could be a bad seat belt buckle (especially if the TSB has not been done) or perhaps the seat belt buckle plug is not plugged in all the way.

The Durametric software, a PST2, or PIWIS will tell you exactly what turned the light on - and allow you to turn it off once the problem has been fixed.

Loren would be able to replace the buckle, Before I removed the seat I had to unplug the electric clip that controls the seat, could that have anything to do with it?

Yes that's what caused it...

Autozone will be able to reset it for U

None of the testers that I know of at Autozone can reset airbag lights. You can only reset an airbag light with the Durametric software, a PST2 or PIWIS tester.

I had this exact same problem today. I removed the drivers side seat to get to the fried module underneath, and when I put everything back together, I had the airbag light on. I discovered I did not have the electrical connector for the seat properly connected, but after correcting this, the light is still on. I also disconnected the battery, but that did not clear it. Does that mean it will stay on until reset by one of the methods described above?
