Airbag light always on.
So i have been reading about it, but some people suggest to replace the light from the passanger side lock. But i notice that mine works fine.
Actually i didnt have the light till i replace both of my front seats and now its always on. I tried cleaning the conecctions and nothing was looking at the wiring and looks fine. Any advice on what to look for?

Re: Airbag light always on.
what year is your truck? what seats did you put in? if you are 98+, did you put the pretensioner seat belts back on? how many times does the light flash?

the pretensioner yanks the seatbelt tight in the event of a frontal collision...they work together with the airbags

Yep! That's what you got to do. I took the seat belts off old seats and made a bracket to bolt them to my expo. Seats then just plug them back up, off goes air bag light..
