The service air bag light staying on in my 2005 chevy avalanche. It use to be intermittent whenever it was raining or wet outside but now it is on steady after a rainstorm on july 18/10. I have been doing some research online and found out that it is a very common problem with the chevy avalanche, gm as put out service bulletins about the wiring but they will not cover the repairs if your warranty is expired. I think this is a very important issue for the safety of all chevy avalanche + other model owners that should be taken care of by gm. The website that I found most of my information about this problem on is chevyavalanchefanclub.com if this vehicle is involved in an accident the air bag system is most likely to fail which most likely will cause excessive bodily damage or even death of the passengers and driver that could have been avoided if gm would own up to their responsibility and fix the problems.

"service airbag" sensor light and "idiot" light came on and won't go off. I have been on a few forums about this and there are lots of people with this same problem. Many different ideas on what will fix the problem but gm should issue a recall and fix it for everyone.

I have had my sensor light and the warning light that says "service airbags" come on and it won't go off. I have been on a few auto forums about this and there are hundreds of people with the same problem. The dealers can't seem to figure out what it is and people are spending hundreds of dollars to get it fixed, but it doesn't.
