Seat Removal Now have air bag failure light on

[02chuck]

2003 Boxster S 55k mi,

Went looking for a power steering leak yesterday, pulled the seats to get access through the bulkhead,

After reinstalling the seats the airbag failure light is on.

So what did I upset? Would I need to reseat the seat connectors maybe?

From reading the previous post I will need a Durametric or other equipment to clr the fault.

Did not find leak, but did not think to run engine while the covers were off.

Thanks ahead of time

If you had the key in the ignition when you pulled a seat then the airbag light will trigger. The airbag circuit is active whenever the key is in the ignition - even in the off position.

Just use the Durametric to reset it.

I figured that would be the case after reading the other posts.

I pulled the seats with the top down, then put the top up to access the top of the engine.

That is where I triggered the fault.

Thanks Loren
