Anybody have Seat Belt Receptacle Cost?

[98Boxster98]

I just read TSB 6924: Airbag Light Comes On. It's obvious that's there a electrical ground problem on the early Boxster after reading it. The dealer wants $580 to fix it for what seems to be rather mundane splicing and soldering. The TSB is peppered with "Caution: Airbag warning light lights up if tie-wrap is insufficiently fastened." It strikes me as a poor design if you're depending that much on a tie-wrap for more than some strain relief. Does anybody have price information on the seatbelt receptacle cost? I'd like to see if I have any bartering room with dealer on this.

I believe the recepticles are about $60. You can install it yourself but you still need to go to the dealer to have the light turned off (or go to a shop that has a Porsche computer).

If your recepticles have never been updated then you should be able to get them replaced as a warranty item. The safety systems are under a different warranty also.

Thanks for the info, ar.
