Has anyone tried cutting the wires to the seatbelt and just tying them together (like with the brake pad sensors), making the ECU assume the seat belts are always buckled?

I have a '99 996 and my airbag light is now on for the 4th time since I have owned the car in 2003. I took it to the dealer and they read the fault codes and said that the FIX would require a $1,700 repair where they would now install an "updated" seat belt receptacles and wiring harnesses. My question is....if the airbag light is on due to the reason I described above, does the airbag still work?
I tried several methods including buying a new receptical and the lite is still on
. Very frustrating
Gotta find someone here local with a Durametric and try that

I had my seat belt receptors replaced about 4x and the airbag light still goes on about 3k miles after the repair. The dealer now wants to replace the air bag control unit as part of the fix.
I would like to avoid the repair if I know that the airbag will still function if the light is on.
The FAULT CODES ARE 45 and 46 which point to the seat belt receptors.
