Sprayed the Contact Cleaner and compressed air into my receptacles last week. Dealership reset the Airbag light for free. It's been a week now and no Airbag light! Great info! Thanks!

so i found out this is why my airbag light is on. do i just put on that lil red straw and spray away into the buckle the non conducive contact spray? and than use the compressed air to blow it dry? (the contact cleaner seems to dry itself)

That is how I did it. Just sprayed the cleaner into the buckle with the small straw. I did it a couple times. Then I followed up with the air. One trip to the dealer to reset the airbag light and all has been well ever since. No airbag light! Good luck!

Ok so I got the dreaded airbag light when installing the heated seats cause I didn't think disconnecting the battery would be necessary. DOH!

Does disconnecting the battery reset the airbag light?

I havnt seen anybody near northeast ohio that has the durametric tool and I'm not gonna buy the tool for $250 just to reset a light, the Porsche dealer would probably do it for free for me.

Can you easily pull the lightbulb for that light out of the dash? We've done this on a few of our limos for traction control lights etc.

A registry has been started for people with the Durametric and PST2, but so far no one in your area. http://www.renntech.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=13779

Disconnecting the battery will turn off a check engine light. It will not turn off an air bag light.

Porsche dealers don't do nothing for free....
