Airbag light coming on. Replace sensor and it goes off. Then about 3months later it comes back on. Dealer replaced sensor again. This has repeated itself again and again. It is back on and is making a clicking sound under dash. Light is off but clicking sound is still there. Is it working?

Srs bag light steadily on and seat belt light man on dash chimes for no reason and blinks on/off. Took in to pontiac 6/18/04, they fixed wiring harness that day (unclear on invoice) we just bought the vehicle in may 2004. A few weeks later we had the same problem and took it back in, just to hear that it was a cluster this time, they claim they're were toys under the seat and a plug was broken but the only toys in there were little hot wheels. So, they put in a new cluster and here we are three weeks later and I am still having the same problem with the seat belt man light and the SRS bag light on the dash. Pontiac will look at it again, they say, but I cannot see that one part after another needing to be replaced every two weeks and the outcome is always the same with the same item defaulting(seat belt guy light/SRS air bag light on dash stays on).

The left front pretensioner was open and had to be replaced. The air bag light stayed on, which was caused by the faulty seat belt tensioner. *ts. Also the power sliding door did not return when it was opened

Airbag light keeps coming on. Took vehicle to dealer and had it repaired. But, currently, dealer can't identify problem because it keeps reoccurring.
