Some more info on the airbag light issue...
I had issues with both belt recepticals on my '98. Had both replaced, but light still reappears within a day or so of picking up the car. I have troubleshot the problem down to what I think is a loose wire somewhere between the seatbelt buckle and the computer. My problem is that I am 6'3'' and my wife is 4'11''. Every time I pick it up from getting the light turned off and having the appropriate buckle replaced, it stays off until someone moves the seat. Then the light is back on.
Before you spend a ton of time and energy on the buckles (300 a piece from dealership w/labor, ~ 150 apiece from indie shops w/ parts and labor), consider asking about the wiring harness and getting the dealership/shops word that if you pay them to fix it and it comes back, they will do more than keep reading the computer, deciding that the buckle was a bad part and swaping it out again.
If anyone has found a complete solution to this or has had repeated lights after replacing the buckles, please post!
