The airbag warning light had always been on the dash and when the airbags were recalled I had them replaced. The light was out approximately 2 weeks, then came back on. Took it back to airport dodge and when the service manager got in the truck, there was no light on the dash. We finally figured out it was the difference in weight, me at 115#, he at 200#. He tells me it's a customer pay issue, I have a defective sensor. If I have a defective sensor, then there are a bunch of big men running around with defective sensors that don't know anything about it.
The airbag indicator light on the dash remains on after startup. I have had this checked out 3 times by different mechanics all have said its a sensor. I have had the sensor changed which has fixed the problem for a short while, when I say a short while I mean for at least 2 miles of driving after fixing. It then comes on and remains on.
